Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen tart cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • If you don't have cherry pie filling, you can make your own by simmering fresh or frozen cherries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until thickened.
  • Be sure to use unsalted butter in this recipe. Salted butter will make the dessert too salty.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10x15 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • This dessert can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
