Spooky Cherry Eyeball Pies
A foolproof, family-favorite recipe tested and perfected for incredible flavor with simple preparation.
Ingredients
- 3-4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cans (21 oz each) premium cherry pie filling
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold wet into dry.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for the Best Results
- Bring eggs and butter to room temperature before baking for the best texture.
- Don't overmix the batter — fold gently to keep it light and fluffy.
- Let it cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
- Use parchment paper to line your pan for easy removal.
