There's nothing better than a freshly baked pie, especially when it's filled with juicy, plump, and ripe summer cherries and enrobed in a flaky, buttery crust, then baked to perfection.
One bite of this cherry pie and you'll realize what the Eurythmics are singing about because sweet dreams are made of this cherry pie and you will not disagree. You can travel the world and the seven seas, everybody will be looking for this pie.
This version uses the classic lattice design, making the crust almost as appealing as the mouthwatering cherry mixture inside.

Where did cherry pie come from?
Cherry pie may be a classic American dish, but it's believed to have originated in the 1500s in England when it was presented to Queen Elizabeth I. English colonizers brought pies and cherry trees when they arrived in North America, although the cherries were different than what we know today.
During this time, the tradition of not eating the crust (or pie casing) was maintained, but at the time of the American Revolution, between 1775 and 1783, pie fans began enjoying the flaky crust that encased this delicious dessert. And we're so glad they did!
