Red, White and Blue Cherry Pie is an easy cherry pie recipe using cookie icing, blueberries and cookie cutters to make a stunning and cute pie perfect for any patriotic holiday!
Ingredients:
- 40 ounces cherry pie filling
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts , softened according to package directions
- 1 egg , lightly beaten
- cookie icing
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- vanilla ice cream , optional
Direction
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Press one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges using your thumb and forefinger. Pierce the bottom generously. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until crust just sets.
- Remove from the oven and pour cherry pie filling into the parbaked pie crust.
- Using a 1-inch star shaped cookie cutter, cut 12-14 stars from the second pie crust. Place in a pattern over cherries, overlapping in some places and touching the exterior crust in others.
- In a small bowl, beat egg and brush over pie crust edges and star cut-outs.
- Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check during backing baking to see if the crust is starting to brown too much. If so, place aluminum foil or a pie shield over exterior crust or other burning areas.
- Remove and allow to cool fully.
- When cool, outline several stars with cookie frosting and place blueberries around the top of the cake.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream.
