I've never made a sour cherry pie before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The pie was the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of sour cherries, but this pie was surprisingly good. The filling was tart but not too sour, and the crust was nice and flaky.

This pie was a bit too sour for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a sweeter variety of cherries.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit. The sour cherries give it a unique flavor that everyone seems to enjoy. I like to add a little bit of almond extract to the filling for an extra special touch.
