The Cherry pie filling  can be homemade or store-bought too.In this recipe I have made the cheery jam at home as cherry is in stores but otherwise you can always use canned one.

You can use the pie crust or use puff pastry too. This recipe is with puff pastry,you can use Pillsbury Frozen Puff Pastry   or also pepperidge farm puff pastry.
