Vegan Cherry Pie
This homemade vegan cherry pie is so flavorful and comforting. With a homemade filling made from cherries, lemon and vanilla, and a simple buttery crust! It’s fruity, crispy, easy to make and complete with a weaved pie crust lattice on top! Perfect served on its own, or with some coconut whipped cream or ice cream. There’s just so many flavors to choose from, but I don’t think any compare to the deep, rich flavor of cherries. The best part is you can use frozen or fresh for this recipe – both come out delicious! Making your own vegan cherry pie from scratch is such a fun process! Though I’ll have to warn you, there is a little bit of patience involved to get the perfect texture.
You’ll have to let the dough chill before rolling, and the pie is best served after it has completely cooled and then reheated. I know this sounds strange, but with a fruit pie like this one, it can take up to 3-4 hours to cool completely. This helps the pie retain its shape – then reheat for about 10-20 seconds in the microwave before serving to release some of the cherry juices and warm it up! However, you can dig in a bit earlier for a juicier pie!
