Cherry Pies

Cherry crumb pie with one bottom crust and a buttery crumb top that lets steam escape, so a very juicy filling sets instead of flooding the slice.

Sour cherry pie with a woven lattice that holds its shape, plus how to weave it and why tart cherries need less thickener than you’d expect.

Sweet cherries bake up flat and one-note. Lemon juice and a little almond extract bring back real cherry flavor in this tested pie, fresh or frozen fruit.
