Crust

  • Roll out one part of the dough to 1/8 inch of thickness and slightly wider than your 9 inch pie plate
  • Place the rolled out crust on to the pie plate and let it rest in the fridge while you make the top
  • Use the other half of the dough to make your favourite decorations 

Assembly

  • To assemble your pie, add the cherry filling and top it with your decorations 
  • Bake at 375°F for 30-40 mins 
  • If needed, Cover with foil after 20 mins to avoid the top from browning too much 
  • Remove and chill the pie at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving
