If you thought you couldn’t make a pie, think again. Here is a simple and delicious cherry pie recipe with a prep time of about 10 – 15 minutes . Whenever I make it for guests, they always ask for the recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Crust Ingredients:
1 stick real butter
3 – 4 Tbls. sugar
1 cup flour
Melt butter, then add sugar and flour. Mix to dough consistency. Using your hands, press dough into the bottom and sides of a greased 9″ pie plate.
Filling:
Pour 1 large can of cherry pie filling onto the unbaked crust or make filling from scratch.
Topping Ingredients:
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
Mix topping ingredients together until well blended, then pour over the cherry pie filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Delicious!
Note: Other canned pie fillings can be used in place of the cherry pie filling as long as they are similar in consistency to cherry pie filling.
Cherry fact: Sour cherries are higher in Vitamin A than sweet cherries.
