Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 21 oz canned cherry pie filling
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Spread the canned cherry pie filling evenly on the bottom of the greased pie dish.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted unsalted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until no lumps remain.
Pour the batter evenly over the cherry pie filling in the pie dish.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish before serving. Enjoy!
