Carol F.'s winning cherry pie

"I live in New Braunfels, Texas and I am 80 years old. I have been making pies since I was 8 years old.

I used the Triple Cherry pie filling and my family went wild over the taste. I will never use any other cherry pie filling. You have a customer for life.

Just to add I have won the grand champion pie at our county fair 5 times." - Carol F.

Carol’s Double-Crust Pie Recipe

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup butter

Mix flour with salt. Cut in butter and shortening until the size of small peas. Add ice cold water and form a ball. Keep in refrigerator until ready to use.
