What others are saying about this recipe

  1. Joy Mead says:

    The filling needed a little more thickening. It was nice and thick at first but after baking it the pie was runny. All I can figure is that the cherries gave off more juice while baking. Next time I will add more cornstarch or maybe even some flour and get it REALLY thick, like cut it with a knife thick, before adding the cherries. The cherries themselves were good.

  2. Carolyn Ritter says:

    This recipe was much like my grandmothers. Living in northern Michigan in cherry country, the tart cherries were wonderful for pie. Just one thing missing. Grandma always said you need just a little almond flavoring for the cherry pie. I very seldom see that in recipes. It may be a Pennsylvania Dutch thing from long ago.

  18. Sandra Wheeler says:

    Love the pie fillings but can not figure out how to make crisp for the top of the apple pie.

    1. Lucky Leaf says:

      One crisp recipe we love is:
      Pour 1 can of apple filling into a pastry pie shell. Combine 1 cup of each; flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, chopped walnuts and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Mix in 3/4 cup butter with pastry blender. Sprinkle evenly over apple filling and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to bake until topping is golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

  24. Ray from Texas says:

    Great cherry pie, always predictable results. I do add one extra tablespoon of corn starch.
    The almond extract added another layer of flavor, but I prefer without.
    !!!prebake the bottom crest or it come out raw!!!
    Love this recipe 😍

  25. Sid from Cut and Shoot Texas says:

    Awesome,
    Made it for my brother as a Christmas gift. He’s still raving about it in March. Thanks!

  26. Robin A Hodge says:

    I have a question that is: If I make the pie today and not to eat it until tomorrow do I need to refrigerate the pie or can I leave it out on the table overnight?

  27. Kathy Lucas says:

    I love the lucky leaf cherry pie filling. I have used your product make cherry pies and cherry topped cheese cake through the years. However this Christmas when I used your product to top a cheese cake dessert two of my guests got a pit in a cherry. We were lucky that no one broke a tooth, I was so surprised this happened. I just wanted to let your company know for quality assurance purposes.

  28. jackie taylor says:

    Adding almond flavor sounds so good but how much should I add?

  29. Helen Small says:
