Tips:

  • Use a standing or handheld electric beater to beat the egg white until stiff. This will give the meringue topping its characteristic fluffy texture.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and less likely to stick to your work surface.
  • Bake the pie shell in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the bottom of the pie from becoming soggy.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

With its crispy almond-studded cookie dough and a decadent creamy, creamy filling made with juicy cherries, this pie is the perfect treat to end any meal. Using fresh cherries and creamy custard can guarantee the best taste; however, using frozen cherries and pudding mix can be a good substitute to save time.
