Cherry Cream Pie image

A favorite vacation spot in Wisconsin-Door County (in the "thumb" of the state)-is known for its abundance of cherry orchards, and that's where this cream pie recipe originated. We think it's a delectable dessert, with a nutty crumb crust, real whipped cream and, of course, cherry pie filling. -Carol Wencka, Greenfield, Wisconsin
