Ingredients for Cherry Pie Filling

This is my favorite pie dish. I love clear glass because I can see how the crust is cooking while it is in the oven.

Directions to Make Cherry Pie

This is such a simple recipe for such a delicious dessert. I think it is the sour cherries that make is so delightful.

Step One

Set the 3 Cups of Cherries aside.

Mix all of the other ingredients in the pie filling with a spoon in a large bowl. Do not use an electric mixer.

Step Two

Pour the mixture over the cherries and stir together.

I actually think I could eat the filling just like this. Like all of it at one time. This easy cherry pie recipe has the best filling.

Step Three

Add the mixture into a 9 inch pie crust. This can be either homemade or store bought. The beauty of this is that if the mixture is added to a gluten free crust, the dessert is gluten free. I used the pie crust mix by Glutino for the pie is these photographs. It is the same mix I used when I made the homemade pop tarts.

Step Four

Add pie crust pieces the top of the pie. This can be lattice style, shapes from cookie cutters or simply pieces of crust. I like to cut up little pieces.

Next, add them to the top of the pie.

Step Five

Bake for between 40-50 minutes, depending on the crust. It is important the middle filing boil and bubble for at least 30 minutes to cook thoroughly but longer is okay. When it comes out of the oven, let it cool to room temperature before serving.

The pie is yummy served with ice cream.
