For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract to the filling. If using fresh cherries, pit and halve them before adding them to the mixture, and reduce the amount of cherry pie filling accordingly. To prevent a soggy bottom crust, pre-bake the bottom crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Nov 1, 2024I was a bit hesitant to use canned cherry pie filling, but it actually worked really well. I added a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the flavor.

Aug 23, 2024This pie was a huge hit at our family gathering! The crust was perfectly flaky, and the filling was the right balance of sweet and tart.
