Can anyone recommend a good business that sells cherry pies around The Villages or Ocala?

Thank you

Sam’s has delicious pies!

If you make it yourself, just use the pre-made refrigerated pie crust. Any filling you want and crimp the top crust to the bottom. Then put the pie in the freezer for an hour or so and preheat the oven. Brush egg wash and sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before you put it in the oven. Freezer cold to hot oven and your crust will be better than bakery! Sounds like a lot of work but it’s not really and your pie will look picture perfect.

I would suggest homemade pies from
Donna’s Dream Cakes on 301 south of 42. She bakes pies, cakes and breads to order. All homemade in her professional kitchen. We’ve tried a few things from her - all were delicious.

Try Donna's Dream Pies on 301 in Onford.

I second this. We bought a pumpkin and apple last Thanksgiving. Outstanding! Best apple pie ever, ever. Was baked in a glass pie pan that you get to keep. Very pricey.

Put the can of cherries in the bottom crust. ( I hope you have a pie pan...a big one, not one of those tinny things left over from frozen pumpkin pie...) Cover the filling with the top crust and poke at least 18 holes in the top to vent. (when you see a little juice bubbling out of the holes it is done)

Put it in a 350 oven for 45 minutes. It will be really yummy.

Here is a picture of some cherry pie filling. I think Duncan Hines Comstock may be the easiest.

If you make that pie, keep the crust cold until you bake it. A hot oven makes the crust flakey. 425 F for 15 minutes, then finish baking at 375F for 30 mins or until it starts browning a little. I cover the outside rim crust of the pie with a strip of foil to keep it from browning too fast. (Also I add real fruit to those canned pie fillings so it is a “fruit pie”.)

350 degrees F doesn’t work for me. We like flakey crust.

OP you wanted a pie for a friend’s birthday. For me I would never buy store bought crust, or canned fruit. Pie crust takes minutes to make, and if you batch freezes well. I keep bags of frozen fruit, from in season crops.

You are looking for a bakery pie, for a special occasion Miz Kathi’s is a worth every penny, if you can’t make a scratch pie

I second this recommendation! Don the Pie Guy makes everything from scratch, to order, including his fillings. Absolutely the best pie! Don is “THE GUY”.
