Nostalgic Food is the Best Food
Most of my fondest memories of childhood involve food. Ha! The smell of onions cooking in the kitchen reminds me of my Momma, Gloria. Always. Growing up, she was always cooking for people. Hands down, the best cook ever, that is my Momma. She made this pie often for us. It was one of our favorite sweet treats. We always felt very special when she made this pie and I am honored to do the same for you!
Home Cooking with Momma
If you Momma is like mine, she is responsible for your love of cooking. Many of my recipes are inspired by her. Our, BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE, LEMON CURD and BREAD PUDDING are just a few of the recipes that are inspired by my sweet Momma, Glory Jean. She and I both are happy to share with you to get you to love on others with your time and talents from your kitchen.
How to Make It
It is really a very simple recipe. In fact, you don't even have to use Cherry Pie filling, you can use any filling you desire. The cream cheese pie is a good base and any fruity topping will be equally as good.

Tips and Tricks
Yes and no. You know there is something a little tart and fresh tasting about the pie but it is not so prevalent that it actually tastes like lemon pie. It is meant to help thicken and set the pie.
Yes! This recipe is like lots of our others, it is meant to get you started. I have even left the pie plain and just topped with some decorative mint leaves. It is good alone or with any fruit pie filling you wanted.
Yes, just not for long. I would keep it in the refrigerator until right ready to serve if at all possible and store any leftovers there as well. If you get caught up in visiting with your folks over this pie and a cup of coffee or sweet tea, it should be fine.
