This Easy 3 Ingredient Cherry Pie is a quick and delicious dessert featuring a flaky store-bought pie crust, sweet canned cherry pie filling, and a golden egg wash. Perfectly baked to a beautiful golden crust, this pie is a delightful treat for any occasion, served warm and optionally paired with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 2 sheets store-bought pie crust (or homemade pie crust)

Filling

  • 21 ounces canned cherry pie filling

Topping

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking your pie shortly.
  2. Assemble the Pie Crust Base: Carefully unroll the first pie crust sheet and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish, allowing excess dough to hang over the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust a few times to prevent bubbling during baking.
  3. Carve the Top Crust: Lay the second pie crust sheet flat on a surface and use a knife to carve out a Halloween-inspired image, similar to pumpkin carving. This will allow steam to escape and add a festive touch.
  4. Add Filling and Cover: Spoon the canned cherry pie filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly without overfilling to keep the surface flat. Gently place the carved top crust over the filling. Tuck any overhanging edges underneath and press them down firmly with a fork or your fingers to seal the pie.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Using a brush, lightly coat the top of the pie with the egg wash to create a glossy and golden finish once baked.
  6. Bake: Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust turns golden brown.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes to set the filling. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cherry filling is spread evenly to prevent overflow during baking.
  • Carving a design in the top crust allows steam to escape and prevents sogginess.
  • Use cold pie crust sheets to help maintain flakiness when handling and baking.
  • Letting the pie rest after baking helps the filling to thicken and makes slicing easier.
  • If you prefer a crimped crust edge, you can use your fingers or a fork to decorate the edges before baking.
