Number of Servings: 10

Ingredients

    Filling:
    4 cups cherries, rinsed and pitted
    3/4 cup sugar
    1/4 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    Crust:
    2 store-bought or homemade pie crusts

    Star-shaped cookie cutter

Directions

1. Place bottom crust in pie pan.

2. Mix ingredients for filling and add to pan.

3. Use star cookie cutter to cut out several stars out of top crust. Place stars on top of pie filling. Use fewer stars to save calories and carbs. (Note: nutrition facts are based on eating the full top pie crust.) Flute the edges of the top crust.

4. Brush top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

5. Bake at 425*F for 25 minutes. Reduce heat
to 350*F and bake for 25-30 minutes more.

Prep time does not include the time it takes to pit the cherries or make a homemade pie crust.

    I don´t consider a recipe with store bought crusts to be a recipe. Might as well buy the pie in a store!
    + The fact it´s SO high in fat & sugar!

    This is very good! I switched out the sugar with Splenda and made my own crust to cut down on the fat from the pre-made shell. - 7/1/14

    I no longer do crusts of any kind. I just do the cherry filling in a mug and cook it in the microwave. Lots less carbs and fats. And I keep on losing weight while having food fun. That works for me. - 7/1/15
