You know, I haven’t actually ever made pie dough for a pie before. I’ve made something akin to pie dough for other eats and treats before, but I’ve never made pie dough for a pie before. I saw an idea for a strawberry infused pie dough a long while back now, and it’s sort of stuck with me. So when I decided to try my hand at a homemade cherry pie filling, I thought what the hell! I may as well make the pie dough myself and try to infuse it with some cherry goodness too!

So here we have it! THis Very Cherry Pie! It’s got cherries all the way through the filling and into the pie crust. And can I just say, this pie is actually pretty easy to make! You would think making the crust and the filling would be complicated, but it’s honestly not much more work than pre-made dough and canned filling.

I had high hopes that the crust would be just a little more pink on it’s own than it was. But! I didn’t want to fool around with food coloring and tarnish the simple ingredients that I had going on here. I mean that too. The pie crust is made with just 5 ingredients. It’s as classic as a pie dough can get, with the small change of adding in the dehydrated cherry powder for bonus cherry favor.

At the end of it all, I think this Very Cherry Pie is as impressive as it is delicious. And you can rest well with knowing exactly what’s in it!
