    Make a vegan version of this classic American dessert! This vegan cherry pie takes less than ten minutes to prep, uses minimal sugar, and can easily be made gluten free.

    What you will need

    • 4 cups frozen cherries
    • ½ cup coconut sugar
    • ½ lemon (juice and zest)
    • 3 tablespoon corn starch
    • 1 frozen pie crust

    For this recipe, I recommend using frozen cherries. Frozen cherries come already pitted, so you don't have to waste time taking the pits out of every single cherry. You also don't have to waste time defrosting them- you can add them to the recipe straight out of the freezer. I also love using frozen cherries because they are picked at just the right time and then frozen, so they maintain all of their nutritional value.

    If you are feeling lazy, you can throw the frozen cherries straight from the package into your bowl of ingredients. However, I recommend cutting the cherries in half because I find that they release more flavor this way.

    In addition to the frozen cherries, you will need sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, corn starch, and a frozen pie crust. To make this recipe fully gluten free, use a gluten free pie crust.

    Making the pie

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • While the oven is heating up, use a fork to poke some holes into the bottom of your pie crust.
    • Once the oven has heated up, bake your pie crust for about ten minutes, until the edges are golden. This is so the crust doesn't become soggy later when you add the filling.
    • To make your pie filling, start by adding the coconut sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and corn starch to the bowl of cherries. Mix all of the ingredients.
    • Next, pour the pie filling into the pie crust.

    For the lattice pie crust (optional):

    • Cut a pie crust into strips
    • Place strips vertically on top of pie (about 5 strips across)
    • Start by lifting 2 strips (every other pattern)
    • Lay down another strip, horizontally
    • Repeat while alternating until top layer is finished
    • Bake for 30 minutes.
    • Once your vegan cherry pie has cooked, you can top it with dairy free ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

    • 3 tablespoon corn starch

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • *Tip: use frozen cherries since they come pitted and you don't have to waste time pitting them.
    • **Another tip: Try cutting the cherries in half. This step isn’t necessary, but I found that the cherries released more flavor this way.
    • In a large bowl, combine the cherries, coconut sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and corn starch. This is your pie filling.
    • *Note: no need to defrost the cherries, you can use them straight out of the freezer.
