As the saying goes, "life is short, eat dessert first." And with this simple recipe you can have your pie and eat it too.
This decadent Cherry Cream Pie is three layers of awesomeness: a buttery pecan crust, creamy cheesecake like layer topped with sweet cherries. The best part, besides the taste of course, is it is so easy to make.

Cherry Pie Bars
This recipe came courtesy of my cousin Paige. She doubles the recipe and makes it as Cherry Pie Bars, which are perfect to bring to a pot luck, barbecue, pool party or other large gathering.
However, I have a family of three and do not need a large pan of goodies calling to me from the kitchen. So, I slashed her recipe in half and made it in a pie pan.
You could also opt for an 8" square pan.
Variations to Creamy Cherry Pie
For the crust you can change up the nuts and use almonds or walnuts. Use gluten free flour for a gluten free variation.
Instead of cherry you can top it with your favorite flavor of pie filling. Or make stripes of cherry and blueberry filling for a fun red, white and blue dessert for Memorial Day or Independence Day.

I've been asking myself the same question about national cherry month, why February? Anyway I've linked up my cherry clafoutis. Your pie looks awesome. 🙂

Easy is my favorite word when it comes to a pie 😉 This sounds delicious!
Audrey
I still prefer a pie that I don't have to fuss with a pastry crust (though I know have a good recipe for that).
