Homemade pies are easy to make and so satisfying to eat. We change up the fruit with the seasons and make Apple Pie in the cooler months, then Blueberry Pie, juicy Peach Pie and, of course, this sweet cherry pie in Summer.
Cherry Pie RecipeMemories are made around homemade pies and there’s something so satisfying about creating a pie from scratch. The only downside to a homemade pie is in waiting for it to cool before enjoying it. For easier serving, let the pie cool almost to room temperature so the juices thicken. If you slice into a hot pie, the filling will slide out.
Don’t forget to top each slice with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. It will melt slightly into the slice, making it irresistibly good.

Ingredients for Cherry PieCherries: We love sweet red cherries here but you can use a variety of cherries and even a combination of different cherries. Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice balances the sweetness and adds some juiciness to the filling. Use less or omit if you are using a tart cherry. Sugar: Granulated sugar amplifies the natural sweetness of the cherries. You can adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your cherries. Add more for tart cherries. Corn Starch: This helps to thicken the cherry pie filling to create a bubbly saucy center just like in our Cherry Sauce. Butter: We use unsalted butter to dot the cherry pie filling before applying the crust. Pie Crust: You will need two disks or 1 recipe for Pie Dough, to make the bottom crust and lattice top.![]()
The Best Way to Pit Cherries:To be safe, double-check that each cherry is pitted. I like to watch them one by one as I pit to see the pit exit the cherry. There are many cherry pitters on the market and these two are a great choice:
Can I make a Sour Cherry Pie? Since sour cherries are generally smaller, you will need about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs (or 6 cups, pitted) of sour cherries. Since sour cherries are more tart, use 1 cup of sugar.

How to Make a Lattice Pie CrustHere’s a quick visual reference for making a lattice pie crust for cherry pie. I still use this visual reference when making pie because I can move through the steps at my own pace.
Place 5 strips of dough horizontally over the pie filling, with the longer strips in the center and shorter strips towards the edges. Fold back the 2nd and 4th strips halfway and place a long vertical strip of dough in the center. Fold the strips back over the new line then fold back the alternate strips (1st, 3rd, and 5th). Continue adding and alternating strips then switch to the other side of the pie, until the lattice is complete.![]()
How to Crimp a Pie CrustYour fingers are all you need to make a beautiful crimped or scalloped pie crust.
Tuck in excess dough behind the bottom pie crust. Crimp the crust edges by pushing the dough out with your index finger and at the same time pushing/pinching the dough around it with the thumb and forefinger of your other hand Repeat all the way around the edge.![]()
Pro Tips for the Best Cherry Pie Freeze the unbaked pie for 10-15 minutes while the oven preheats (this keeps crust from sagging in the oven and browning too fast). Brush the pie crust with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp milk or water) and sprinkle with coarse sugar just before baking. Arrange the oven rack to the lower third of the oven to keep the crust from getting too brown. For easier cleanup, place a sheet of foil (or slide a sheet pan) under the pie once you turn the heat down to 350˚F.![]()
I hope you take full advantage of cherry season with your own homemade cherry pie. Cherries have to be my favorite stone fruit and I’ve always loved them fresh and especially baked into desserts. From the flaky buttery crust to the juicy cherries that burst with every bite – this pie has your name written all over it!
