Cherry Pie

The best recipe for classic cherry pie. A super flaky and tender crust and perfect filling made with fresh cherries!

 

 

Farmers' markets- one of the many things that make summer the best time of the year. 

Cherries- one of the many things that make the farmers' market the best place of the summer. 

Michigan- the place from which cherries burst forth.

Cherries- one of the many things that make Michigan the best state.  

Cherries- the filling of the best pie the world has ever seen, lovingly created by the sisters Yammie and Nemo. 

Piggie and Tay, my younger sister and brother, are away at a church youth retreat for the week. This means my older sister Nemo and I are the only big kids here and thus have free reign over the kitchen and all surrounding areas.

There has been much wild dancing to wild music. There has been buffoonery to the most extreme degrees. A constant flow of yummyness has been exuding from the oven. This is so that when Piggie and Tay return telling us what a marvelous time they had without us, we can tell them of our adventures. And they will never leave us again.

Nemo was having trouble making her hand into a heart. As you can clearly see, my half of the heart on the left is quite exquisite, while Nemo's half is horrifyingly deformed. I was the only one who took this photo seriously. 

 

This pie, my friends, will possibly be the most glorious thing that will ever cross your lips. Nemo's crust was perfectly flaky and buttery. My filling had the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Eat it warm with a scoop of cold ice cream and your life will be complete.
