This recipe is better than ever. My Homemade Cherry Pie is perfectly crispy with a thick, almond-shaped cherry pie filling and golden pie crust.
The ingredients are exactly the same as they were when I originally posted the recipe in 2017, but splitting some of the cherries instead of just straining some of the juice on the stovetop and reducing them by half ensures that the filling of tart will settle perfectly.
As always, wait until the pie is completely cooled before slicing, which is another non-negotiable and saves stuffing the pie.
There are no store-bought pie fillings or pie crusts because today we make our cherry pie entirely from scratch.
Doing a homemade pie scares you? I promise this signature dessert is nothing to fear and that’s exactly why I’m sharing my recipe with you.
Of all the pie flavors, cherry pie is where most bakers rely on canned filling, but I’ll teach you how to get the most out of fresh cherries and a delicious crust.

Decorative molding La Cherie Pie:
Do not hesitate to brown the strips of dough with reduced egg yolk in a little water. I forgot to do this for my pie but that’s too bad!
Bay of Variants of the Cherie:
You can add 2 small peeled and diced apples. I also like to add banana slices in this cherry pie.
Are there any pivotal issues or processes?
I used 1 kg of fresh cherries here, which is about 800 g of pitted cherries. You can replace them with 800 g of cherries in a jar, cherries for example, or 800 g of frozen cherries (to be thawed).
Enjoy !
