The perfect addition to tea, a glass of milk or just a snack are sweet cherry pies. Fried pies are an easy-to-make dessert that everyone will love. The filling for the pies is homemade cherry jam. Cherries are stewed over the fire without pits with cloves and sugar. The jam is cooked until thick and the sugar is completely dissolved. This mass is ideal for the filling. It is sweet, juicy, tender and with whole pieces of berries. Try and make cherry pies.

How to cook Cherry pies

Step 1

Cherry pies - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen cherries for the filling?

Yes, you can use fresh cherries. Simply pit them and chop them coarsely before cooking with sugar and cloves as in the recipe. The result will be just as delicious, though you might need to cook them slightly longer to release their juices.

How can I make these cherry pies vegan?

To make them vegan, ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly (some are processed with bone char) and use a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk instead of regular milk. The rest of the ingredients are already plant-based.

Can I bake these instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Baking will yield a different texture—less crispy but equally delicious. Just be sure to brush the pies with a little oil or an egg wash before baking for a golden finish.

How should I store leftover cherry pies and how long will they last?

Store cooled pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness; microwaving will make them soggy.

Milk and butter glaze is a universal option for decorating pies, muffins and even Easter cakes. Milk should have a fat content of 3.2%, otherwise it will not be possible to make the glaze of the correct consistency.
