My mom is known for her scrumptious desserts. This easy-to-make pie is one she has served often. It's one of my favorite desserts anytime of year. I love the combination of cream cheese and cherry pie filling. -Cindy Kufeldt, Orlando, Florida Ingredients:
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add butter; stir until combined. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Pour pie filling into crust.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. Carefully spread around outside edges of pie, leaving a 3-in. circle of cherries exposed in the center.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
