45 minutes

Cherry pie with cornflakes is an exquisite combination of tender dough, sweet-tart cherries, and a crispy caramel crust. This recipe has roots in Russian cuisine, where berry pastries have always been a favorite treat. The cherries give the pie a refreshing taste, while the cornflakes soaked in butter and milk create an unusual texture – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This pie is perfect for a cozy tea time, will adorn any table, and bring warm memories of home evenings. Serve it slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of sour cream – it will reveal all its flavor nuances.
