Recipe View Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the cherry filling.
If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using in the recipe.
To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can blind bake it for 15 minutes before adding the filling.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.

    I had some trouble with the crust shrinking during baking. Next time, I'll try chilling the dough for longer before rolling it out.
