I used Rainier cherries which are sweet so I cut the sugar in half and it turned out perfect.

Yum! I used sweet cherries and substituted about 1/4 cup of white sugar for brown sugar, just because I like the depth that brown sugar gives. I used the Butter Flaky Pie Crust and only cooked the pie for about 40 minutes, but it was delicious.

This is a good fresh cherry pie recipe. I find if I refrigerate the bottom crust, pie plate and all, that I don't get a soggy crust. Also always use a deep dish pie plate for fruit pies. Would recommend this recipe for novice bakers and those who have been at it for a while. Bake on ladies!!

Simple and delicious. Paired with a homemade crust, this pie is everything a fresh fruit pie should be. My cherries were very tart, so I combined them with the sugar and let them chill overnight before baking. If you don't have tapioca, try substituting cornstarch. The pie will set up just fine after it cools. I would suggest serving this topped with fresh whipped cream or real vanilla bean ice cream. It doesn't get any better than this!

Ahh, so good! I actually had about 1.5 cups of black raspberries from my yard, so I combined those with 2.5 cups of cherries and it was WONDERFUL! I used the "Butter Flaky Pie Crust" from this site, and ahh... so yummy!

Yes, this was a good recipe. A cherry pitter can be bought at many hardware stores, and MANY places online. I bought mine for only about $20-$25 at a local hardware store and it makes it VERY easy to pit many cherries. You have to learn the fastest way with your own pitter, since I am sure different brands are different in the way they operate. Once I developed a 'touch', which did not take long, I could fly through gallons of cherries.

This pie is delicious and easy! I have a cherry tree in my front yard that I harvested for these cherries. I used the pie crust from the "Perfect Cherry Pie" recipe on this site and the filling from this recipe. Next time I'll slightly more filling, but otherwise I think this recipe is perfect!

This was the first fresh cherry pie I have ever made. A friend gave me some cherries from her cherry tree. It was really easy after I figured out how to pit the cherries. (I used the "straw" method as I did not have a cherry pitter.) The pie was fantastic. I added extra sugar as the cherries were very sour. Thanks!

This was the best cherry pie I have ever made. Very simple and easy to make yet everyone thinks you slaved all day to bake it. No more going to the fruit market this summer for pies, thats for sure!! Thanks for the recipe.

My boys recently brought home some cherries which grow wild at the park near where we live. They were convinced that I knew exactly how to make a cherry pie with them...yeah, right! After much painful pitting, i finally got to try this recipe. So far, so good...We'll see how it works out. Some of the cherries are still a bit small and tart because the trees are only two years old, but we'll see.

My first berry pie ever, and it came out so amazing. I followed the recipe as-is. My husband went nuts over it.

I exchanged corn starch for tapioca because I didn't have any tapioca. The pie turned out awesome. But I cooked it too late at night. All the neighbors have gone to bed and I don't have anyone to give it to now. I sure hope I don't eat the whole thing. I just learned I had a cherry tree outside and my daughter was begging me to fix cherry pie with the cherries. But now she has fallen asleep and hasn't been able to try any of it.

OK, so we have a cherry tree in our backyard and my husband kept saying "boy I bet those would make a good pie" After numerous 'hints' I decided to try it. I read the reviews for this pie and thought it sounded good, so I picked a bucket full of cherries and got to work. (Keep in mind, I've NEVER made a homemade pie in my life.) I used the staw method mentioned by some on this site to pit the cherries. This worked great for me! I put the cherries in one bowl and the pits in a strainer over a second bowl to catch any juice. I used 1 1/4 cups sugar since my cherries were very tart. I also brushed the crust with a beaten egg white and sprinkled sugar on top. I thought that 4 cups cherries sounded like a lot, but I used that anyway. My pie ran over a bit, but it tasted YUMMY. I served this pie to my family after Sunday dinner today and I got rave reviews. For a first ever homemade pie, I thought it was great, if I may say so, myself! If I can make this pie, anyone can. Now I have been instructed by my whole family to go pick more cherries to freeze, so I can make more later!!!

The fresh cherries were worth it!

This was my first time making a cherry pie. I also had to use the sweet cherrys. I turned out great. It wasn't to Sweet And my mother-in law loves that. I will make this again.

Very good. I didnt have almond extract, so substitued amaretoo, which was the closest I had. Worked out well enough, this pie was delicious!!!

this recipe was explosive. the most explosive cherry pie ive ever made but it didnt explode on my taste buds like you would expect, rather the combination of cherries and the oven exploded allllllll over my kitchen and i tried to eat this horrid, sickly pie. it was awful and disgusting.

very good and simple. I used splenda instead of sugar and excluded the butter for a low calorie version of this recipe. Tapioca was a great idea for a low calorie cherry glaze. The only calories I couldn't avoid was the crust.
