This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and tart. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not usually a fan of meringue pies, but this one changed my mind. The meringue was light and fluffy, and the cherry filling was tart and sweet. Perfect balance of flavors.
