Cherry Pie
Is there anything better than a sweet Cherry Pie made with fresh cherries in a homemade pie crust. I usually make the cherry pie crust in advance as it needs at least 2 hours to rest but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To make this homemade cherry pie, start by mixing the filling and chill it in the refrigerator while you roll out the pie dough. Once the dough is in the pie dish, spoon the filling into the crust. Do not add excess cherry juices as you will end up with a soggy pie. Make a lattice top for the pie and brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar before baking in the oven. Once cooked, leave the pie to cool completely before cutting – this will ensure that the filling has time to settle and firm up.
To make Cherry Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

Replaced the white cane sugar with brown instead much less sweet which is good because cherries have their own sweetness and the amount of sugar in this made me dizzy..
Fantastic flavor and super simple to make will be baking it again.
My kids are obssessed with this pie! we put a bit of honey on the top and vanilla icecream :-)
Actually made my own pastry puff dough from this website too just to make this, you guys really do have everything!
Ooooh man this was delicious!
Used strawberry instead it was very yummy and only took me about 45 minutes.
Had no idea that milk was needed in a pie, news to me!
Another good vegetarian dessert props to ya'll.
Cherry pie= time to get fat but be happy for lie haha.
Add walnuts to the inside and thank me later.
I actually don't think this is that time consuming, 1 hour is not at all bad for a pie, good job on this recipe.
Overwhelmingly good really proud of myself for making this.
Heaven on earth served to me on a silver plater couldnt be happier with everything.
Parts of the crust around the side weren't cooked so had to keep taking it in and out of the oven.
Careful on the vanilla extract too much of it will ruin the flavor.
Going to try this wonderful looking pie out tonight wish me luck peeps.
Failed so hard on this..the cherries exploded out of the pie and it was soft on the bottom because of the juice so everything feel through too.
I couldn't design mine to look as good so I ended up just tossing over the dough and making 4 little cuts with a knife lol..
Recommending those who aren't a fan of zesty stuff to ignore the lemon part!
Handsdown the best thing i've ever tasted, if I didn't have a huge family i could've eaten it all by myself lmao.
I love cherry pies! Thanks for sharing!
