Puff cherry pie made from yeast-free dough

6 servings

60 minutes

Layered cherry pie made from unleavened dough is the embodiment of simplicity and sophistication in American cuisine. Its roots go back centuries when bakers sought to create the perfect balance of a crispy crust and juicy, aromatic filling. The cherry encased in flaky dough offers a rich, sweet-tart flavor with a hint of tartness. The lattice top not only decorates the pie but also allows the filling to caramelize, revealing its full flavor depth. This pie is an essential part of family dinners and cozy evenings, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or cold with a cup of aromatic coffee. Each slice is a delicate, layered delight that combines tradition and modern culinary experience.
