Classic Cherry Pie
Classic cherry pie made from scratch, with the flakiest homemade crust and a delicious fresh cherry filling. Our buttery pie crust is the best and you can’t beat a homemade sweet cherry pie. Serve with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.
To me summer fruits are some of the most delicious fruits from strawberries, cherries, peaches, or apricots to juicy watermelons and melons…you name it. Summer is the perfect moment to bake a good old fruit pie, so today I’m sharing with you my recipe for cherry pie.
In my opinion, a slice of homemade cherry pie, freshly made, with vanilla ice cream is truly a match made in Heaven. You’re going to love this easy fresh cherry pie. It’s so gosh darn tasty that you may never want to go back to canned pie filling again. And the flaky buttery crust on the outside is a wonderful contribution to offset the sweet and tart filling.
