I wanted to bake some cherry hand pies instead of frying them, but I wasn't sure that the dough in this recipe had enough fat to support baking and I didn't want the crust to turn out badly. I used Alton Brown's pie crust recipe and doubled it to make two pies' worth of crust, then used this recipe for the filling. I cooked the filling a few minutes longer than the recipe suggested to make sure it was thick enough. It was perfect-- the cherry filling is really well balanced, and these pies are a huge hit with my family.

Very good, although I substituted pre-made pie crust and that didn't turn out well. The dough was too thin to support the filling. I would make the dough in the recipe next time. Also, I added a mint sprig in the cherry mixture in the last two minutes it was on the stove and then removed. It added a refreshing flavor!
