homemade cherry pie

Making cherry pie is easy &#8211; all you need is a little patience when pitting the cherries. We promise it’s worth it. You can use sweet cherries, sour cherries or a combination of both, just remember to dial the sugar back or up depending on what you choose. You can buy a cherry pitter, however, if you do not have one try using the thicker round end of a chopstick to push the pits out of the middle of each cherry. Another option is to push each cherry down onto a piping tip. The sugar amount for this recipe varies depending on how sweet your cherries are. Add to your taste. We like to use fresh cherries for this, but you can use canned (see note below).

 The best cherry pie I have ever tasted  was the comment I heard from several people after making this recipe! I used frozen cherries and followed recommendation of adding some of the drained juice. Huge hit. Loved it!

I just made two cherry pies with this recipe (cherries picked from our backyard tree). My husband, son and grandson said this is the best cherry pie the ever had!  My husband is difficult to please and he is asking for more. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe and extremely helpful video. I only ask for your recipe for blueberry and apple pies. I am hooked on your baking! Donna

I made this recipe several times with varying results. One time the cherry filling was too watery and the cherries too firm even with appropriate baking time. It might have been the variety of firm cherry. So another time I cooked the cherry filling on the stove before putting into the pie crust. I noticed doing it this way made the filling hold together better, no liquid pooling and no more overly firm cherries. Far more pleasant results. If anyone is using home grown cherries, like I have, from trees that are not sprayed, it is very important to check every cherry for insect attacks and larva. If this turns you off, better to use commercially grown (sprayed) cherries, it's much less work. My only concern now is the pie crust. When I bake it according to your time specification (20+30 min) the crust is too hard on the edges of glass dish. I did use spelt flour. Can you make any suggestions?

This recipe was amazing. My husband said it was the best cherry pie he's ever had. I own a cherry pitter, so that was really helpful.

This is an incredible guide with superb videos/tips. Thank you so much! I used this and the pie crust recipe and lattice pie recipe to make a tasty pie for friendsgiving. I was daunted by the idea of making a fruit pie from scratch, but was so well guided by you! Thanks again very much!

Hi, your recipe for Cherry Pie is so easy,even a beginner could master it first try, thank-you for posting it

I made this for July 4th.  Vertical cuts and decorated with stars from leftover pastry. Betsy Ross would be proud!

I made the pie for 4th of July and everyone loved it! The almond extract was unexpected, but very nice, and brought out the tartness of the cherries. Getting the pit out of the cherries was difficult and my cherries looked a bit messy. One person suggested slicing them in half to get out the pit—good idea!

Everyone who eats this pie wants the recipe. The crust is so good like a seasoned cook made it.

I give this recipe 5 stars. I was a little skeptical at first because I am not a cherry pie lover. It was absolutely delicious. We tried the chop stick,did not work for us. Instead we just cut them in half. I honestly think it was better. Great recipe will be saving this one.

Going to make a cherry pie this evening, hoping it’s a success ...Thank you for the delicious recipes

Love the crust recipe! Made this wonderful pie but added in some raspberries and boy, did I great comments from my friends!  Great pie for Spring.

Easy Cherry Pie Recipe - How to Make Homemade Cherry Pie

This easy Homemade Cherry Pie recipe is the best I&#x27;ve ever had.  It&#x27;s made from scratch with an easy cherry pie filling using canned tart cherries, which means you can easily enjoy homemade cherry pie all year round.

Best Cherry Pie Recipe

[double pie crust recipe]

cherries

(200 grams) granulated sugar ((200 grams))

cornstarch

Tablespoons salted butter

Red food coloring ((optional))

sugar (for sprinkling on top)

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt, then add the reserved cherry juice from the canned cherries.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until thick and bubbly and the cloudy liquid turns into a clear gel, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in the cherries, butter, and food coloring, if using, then cool completely before adding to the pie crust. This can be done up to 1 week in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the bottom pie crust and use it to line a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Spoon the cherry pie filling into the bottom crust.

Roll out the remaining crust and use it to top the cherry pie filling. You can make a lattice crust, or just do a solid crust with slits cut in the top using a sharp knife for venting. Be sure to seal the edges, either by crimping or fluting, then brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar, if desired.

Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F, then decrease the oven temperature to 375°F and finish baking for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown on top and the filling is bubbling. Check the pie around 25 minutes and cover the edges with a pie protector or tinfoil if they are starting to brown too much.

Remove the pie from the oven and cool for at least 3-4 hours before serving.

This is ACTUALLY the best cherry pie recipe I've ever had - and it's because of the filling. I don't remember the crust at all, but the filling is incredible. I have this page bookmarked and use it every yer. One tip: I feel like TJ's either stopped selling its cherries or they're hard to find - but Aldi actually sells a very similar cherry (sour morello's in light syrup). They work exactly the same!
