Cherry pie made with layered yeast dough
Description
Cherry pies are my favorite treat—I really love cherries because of their perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Plus, the berries pair well with other fruits, spices, and alcohol. These pies are perfect for a small buffet or gatherings with friends. Preparation takes no more than 30–40 minutes, which is very convenient and practical.

5. Roll out the second half of the dough, then transfer it to the pan, seal the edges and cover the top. Prick the dough with a fork so it doesn't puff up too much during baking.
