Description
This easy cherry pie with canned filling is a quick and delicious dessert!
Ingredients
- Canned Cherry Pie Filling: one 21 oz can
- Corn Starch: 1 tablespoon
- Frozen Pie Crusts: 2 pack (or make your own pie crust recipe)
- Milk: 1/2 tablespoon
- Sugar: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Assemble: Mix the corn starch into the cherry pie filling, then pour the filling into one of the pie crusts. Flip the other pie crust on top of the pie, and use a fork to seal the edges together (refer to the package instructions for exact details, as some instructions differ). Cut slits into the top of the pie, then brush it with milk and sprinkle sugar evenly over the top.
- Bake: Bake the pie on the middle rack uncovered for 35-45 minutes until golden. Let it rest for a few minutes to thicken before serving.
Notes
Corn starch is a key ingredient for ensuring the pie filling is thick and not runny. Some canned pie filling will list corn starch as an ingredient, but in my experience, if you don't add extra, it tends to still be runny.
Brushing the top of the pie with milk or an egg wash gives the pie a golden colour.
Cutting slits into the top of the pie is important for allowing the pie to breathe and bake thoroughly.
