How to make The Best Homemade Cherry Pie
Is This Pie Served Hot or Cold?
I love serving this homemade cherry pie straight out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream that slowly melts around it – pure heaven on a plate! You can also serve this warm, at room temperature, or even cold. Hot cherry pie is perfect for the winter months, but maybe in summer it’s best to opt for a cold dessert.
Can you freeze Homemade Cherry Pie?
This pie freezes really well. To freeze a baked pie, simply let the baked pie cool to room temperature and wrap it with foil or plastic wrap and place in a large freezer bag. You can also freeze the unbaked pie, which can be a better option, you can then cook the pie from frozen. This cherry pie will also keep covered in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
Shortcuts to making a cherry pie
This recipe is perfect if you don’t have a tonne of time to spend in the kitchen pitting cherries and waiting for pie dough to rise. The result is still a tasty fruit pie, but in no time at all!
Use canned cherries for the filling – Oregon Fruit canned Tart Red Cherries in water or Trader Joe’s Pitted Dark Morello Cherries in Light Syrup (stems removed) work well. Use a prepared pie crust – you can chose a gluten-free one if anyone is sensitive. A pre-made lattice crust delivers a pretty pie which make it look like you’ve spent hours slaving on it!
