How To Make Cherry Pie With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person

Sour Cherry Pie occupies a perch on the dessert hierarchy above all others, sitting high and mighty. That’s because sour cherry pie, when executed well, has juicy but set filling, a balanced sweet-tart flavor, and golden flaky pastry. It’s everything a dessert should be and more. Here is Claire’s, inspired by the pies her mom used to make when she was a kid and informed by all the pie-making wisdom she’s gathered in her baking lifetime. Sour cherry season is fleeting, but seek out frozen ones and make this pie all year long.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Now for a dessert question, what is your favorite kind of pie?

[girillanoreyhanuno]

people doing sponsors: ordinary
claire doing sponsors: *sits like the main antagonist with a cat on her lap like in cartoons/animes*

Hearing Claire talk about pies reminds me of that time she got super stressed over some random county fair pie contest.

[ElizabethGonzalez-tjgl]

it’s Claire’s birthday and we’re the ones being gifted with a new video #blessed happy birthday Claire! 🍰

[rika-mijj]

Her hairstyle in this episode and the fruit tart episode... she's literally a princess

[tati.l.]

Felix deserves a portion of the proceeds of the honey sponsorship. He will gladly accept treats as payment.

I've made hundreds of cherry pies over the last 50 years, and still learned something from this one, particularly with how to manage the crust. Nice work.

I'm an absolute disaster in the kitchen, but seeing Claire cook, since her days at BA, brings me overwhelming peace and joy, even if I know I'll never try to recreate her recipes at home

[wohdinhel]

i am so mad that felix’s presence successfully made me sit through an entire ad read

[gakera]

I need a chicken update! How's the coop going and when will we see more recipes from that location?

[east]

the graph with the confidence levels made me giggle a lot! the editing in this is always so well done! also... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAIRE! AND HAPPY FIRST SPONSORSHIP!!!

[comettripper]

I think it's so wholesome she starts almost every video with "this is my favorite recipe" ♡♡ It makes sense she loves all the recepies so much and I feel happy to see her being excited about it

[tosht]

The smiley faces on the cherries at 3:45 made me actually chuckle. 🙂👍

[miseentrope]

Seeing Felix at 1:05 gave me the same feels as when a person checks in on my wellness: *knowing they are well enough to be present boosts me be more present for others* Thanks Claire and Felix and team and sponsors. 😺 and HBC 🥳

[misscutenar]

for some reason the pre intro, with her dropping the bag and just laughing about it, just made me realize how stressed she always seemed on gourmet makes, how she would've almost definitely been very upset about just dropping that bag, at least if it was after the halfway mark of the video. I am so glad that Claire now gets to work in an environment that she determines herself and that does not force her to be that stressed or unhappy

[Fitzroy]

I made this pie for Thanksgiving dinner last year and my family loved it! For the pie crust, I have a sister and a niece who both have celiac, so I used gluten free measure-for-measure flour and it turned out beautifully!

[hnglbanana]

can we get a list of every recipe claire has said is her favourite recipe from dessert person? or would that just be every recipe she's filmed so far? 😂

[DavidSamveljan]

Happy birthday Claire 🎂🍰 i waited so long for this recipe LOVE THE COOK

[maravm]

Claire baking the childhood recipe that makes her the happiest is so wholesome and I'm so happy for her! Happy birthday from Germany 💖

[AllegraVivace]

Love that this video is a demo for the real version of the cartoon cherry pie that's at the end of the episodes.
