This Cherry Pie Dip is all the deliciousness of the classic pie but easier to make and perfect for parties! Fresh cherries are simmered into a thick and gooey dip served with cinnamon sugar pie chips!
I was never a huge fan of cherry flavored things growing up but put a big bowl of fresh cherries in front of me and I’d eat them all! And cherry pie? Well, that didn’t stand much of a chance either, and this Cherry Pie Dip is pretty much everything I love about that classic dessert but a whole lot easier to make!
I think the prep for this dessert takes more time than the cooking process because you have to pit and chop all the cherries, but then it comes together super fast! You can use this cherry pitter to make the process a lot faster and avoid staining your hands! Much like my Apple Pie Dip, this is sweetened with light brown sugar for a deeper and richer flavor and a touch of cinnamon adds a bit of spice for comfort.
I love serving this dip with cinnamon sugar pie chips for the full effect, I mean, it pretty much is a deconstructed pie after all. I hope you all get the chance to make this dip real soon and if you love cherries, you should check out some of the other delicious recipes below!

Guessing we add the cornstarch/water mix into the CHERRY mixture instead of apple. Had to give you grief!!!
