This delicious and super easy cherry pie features a crunchy,
streusel-like crust, which as I joke about in the video, makes the best ice
cream topping ever. It's such a natural pairing that I'm not sure it should even be served if there's no vanilla ice cream around. Of course you’re going to try and find the sweetest
cherries you can, but if you don’t, please feel free to adjust the sugar amount
below as indicated. Other than that, no alterations should be necessary.
Anyway, it’s the 4th of July, and I have food to eat, beer
to drink, and fireworks to watch on TV. I hope you all have a fantastic
holiday, and also that you give this classic summer pie a try soon. Enjoy!

Chef John, when do you do blind baking? By the way, this looks awesome! Can't wait to try it.
Working even on the 4th of July. I continue to be impressed, Chef, but, even your fans would understand if you took the day off.
As a daughter and granddaughter of Michigan Sour Cherry growers, I have to say that sour cherries make a far tastier pie. Sweet cherries are better for just eating plain.
Well Marilyn, that sounds more like sour grapes. :)
Oh, BTW, the official worst song ever is "Just a friend" by Biz Markie.
Chef John can you do possibly your version or take on kentucky fried chicken i just think your version would be amazing
Thank you :)
Chef John :
Here's what I did when I tried your amazing cherry pie.
After I pulled it out of the oven, I got some of my leftover crumb topping,whisked it together with some vanilla bean ice cream ,refrigerated it with the pie, and when I was ready to serve,I sprinkled the vanilla almond crumb topping on top of the pie,and it was DELICIOUS.. I'm not kidding.
I hope you try this,pls reply :)
i might cook the raw crumb first, but if you say its DELICIOUS then never mind :)
i only blind bake for pies that dont have long cook times.
I was going to ask about sour cherries as well, as I have always been told that is what you would use for a dish like this. That is one reason I have never made cherry pie, because I never see sour cherries anywhere.
Chef John, what do you think, sweet or sour?
Yes, I assume sour are much better, but this was great too!
An easier shortcup for the topping is to cut the flour into the flour and brown sugar and then simply mix in the nuts and rolled oats:)))))
Sour cherries are generally considered as "pie cherries" but unless you live somewhere where they grow them and can buy them off the farm you will be hard pressed to find them fresh. Most of the crop goes straight into ready made pie fillings and such. That said I don't see how a pie made with any type of cherry wouldn't be delicious.
Good timing Chef John. I just picked all the cherries off of my tree (sweet cherries) and used them in your recipe. A cross between a cherry crisp and cherry pie - amazing. Thanks for another great recipe.
Great recipe. I will definitely buy a cherry pitter. My finger tips are still stained three days later...
My wife and I made this last week. However, we did not have enough cherries so we supplemented with a mango. Surprisingly it turned out to be an amazing pie and that crumble topping is to die for.
Chef John, I know this comment is very late and the question is most likely ridiculous. Nonetheless, would this work without the almonds? I know it wouldn't as delicious, but I feel like less delicious pie and being alive would be better for my allergic sister...
Of course!! :)
at 2:30 - how about the ol' spata spata?
Dear Chef John, I made this pie on Mother's Day for my parents, my hubby and some friends, and it was a raving success! I'm afraid from now on I'm gonna have to bake pies for every family occasion, bbq and party ever.
And btw, I had some leftovers from the ingredients, and the next weekend I made little cherry and almond crumb cupcakes in the muffin pan for just me and my husband, and those turned out amazing, too.
Thank you so much for another great recipe, this one's definitely a keeper! :)
Hi Chef John I am new to your site and would like to try this recipe as my kids love cherry pie! However they are allergic to nuts. So instead of almonds should I add more rolled oats or more flour?? I'm a dumbie when it comes to cooking.
Thx
Just leave them out! Enjoy!
Dear Chef John. How would you change the recipe with using frozen cherries?
I've never seen a recipe call for "packed all-purpose flour." Is that "packed" supposed to be in the line above with "brown sugar?"
Hi Chef John! I made this for my boyfriend as a Thanksgiving gift to show him how thankful I am for him! How long should I cool my pie for? I cut into it about a half hour after I pulled it out of the oven and it was still kinda soupy...I assume it may have something to do with the depth of the pan used, but will it thicken up in the fridge overnight? Thanks in advance from an apiriring chef!
