About the dish

Cherry pie is an American classic that's beloved in North America and Europe, consisting of a pie crust that's filled with cherries and topped with a lattice crust or regular pie crust top. Morello cherries are most commonly used, but the pie can also be prepared with other types such as black cherries. Once baked, cherry pie is traditionally served with a cloud of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on the side. This dessert is also often mentioned in pop culture – most notably in the TV show Twin Peaks. In the US, the National Cherry Pie Day is celebrated on George Washington Day, also known as Presidents' Day.
