I know you’re going to read the ingredients for this pie and think, “How weird!”. I know, I know. Cherry pie filling and cranberry sauce seemed like a weird combination to me too, but it’s actually really tasty! The cranberry sauce adds a nice tartness to the cherry pie filling, giving it a tart flavor that I love! Sour Cherry Pies are my favorite, but I can’t always find tart cherries. This cherry cranberry pie has the same tart flavor that I love but with ingredients that I can always find! #winning I added dried cranberries for more texture and just enough cornstarch to thicken the filling slightly. Paired with super flaky, homemade pie crust and you’ll find yourself going back for seconds – which it totally fine because it’s baggy sweater weather now, right?! 😉 Enjoy!
