Cherry pie is my DH's favorite but I can not make a pie crust that is edible. This impossible cherry pie was very good and easy to make. Really liked the pie being topped with the streusel instead of a pie crust. DH enjoyed and asked me to please make it again. Another great recipe from Chris from Kansas. Made and reviewed for the Red Tag Game in the TOTM Forum.

This recipe is a new family favourite. I've been making these "impossible" pies and have had some pretty good results. After reading the comments, I left the pie in an additional 10 minutes before putting the streusel on top. My husband loved the pie and had a second piece. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.

I used a 9-inch deep dish pie plate when making this recipe & that worked out well for us ~ Also cut it into 8 slices, which also was great! Absolutely love cherry pies (had them instead of birthday cakes when I turned 4, 5 & 6)! This one is SOOO EASY TO MAKE, & I'll be making it repeatedly in the future!

I cut the milk to 3/4 cup based on LUv's review, and it worked great. It's still thin & the cherries sink, but the batter rises to the top & bakes, which I think is how impossible pies are supposed to be! Mine didn't look much like Luv's phot, LOL. This was a good, tasty 'pie,' with ingredients I usually keep around. I served it as dessert to chili with friends on a casual night. Would be great with whipped cream or ice cream.

This is one tasty pie! The base ingredients were very runny - when putting the pie filling on top it sunk. It also needed 15 more minutes to bake than stated. Slicing the pie was somewhat difficult. The pieces didn't keep their shape very well. Regardless, it may not have looked as nice as I hoped but it tasted GREAT!! I decreased the sugar a bit in both the base and the topping, as the pie filling is very sweet. As a result I got a sweet but not too sweet pie. It gets a definite 5 stars for taste but unfortunately 4 stars for ease of assembly. Thanks for the recipe!!
