Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen cherries instead of canned?
Yes, frozen cherries can be used! Just thaw and drain them before mixing. They might release more juice, so adjust the cherry juice and water accordingly to maintain the desired consistency. This will keep your pie from becoming too watery.
Can I make this pie gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure the other ingredients, such as the cherries and sugar, are also gluten-free. This allows those with dietary restrictions to enjoy this delicious pie without compromising flavor.
Is it possible to make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cherry mixture and batter ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, combine them and proceed with the recipe. This makes it a convenient option for entertaining.
