Get ready to celebrate Memorial Day with a fun and delicious American Flag Cherry Pie For Kids! Memorial Day is a special occasion when we honor and remember the brave men and women who have served our country. What better way to show our appreciation than by baking a patriotic treat? This recipe is perfect for little bakers who want to join in on the holiday festivities and create a scrumptious dessert that's as enjoyable to eat as it is to make. Gather your ingredients, put on your aprons, and let's get ready to bake a pie that's bursting with flavor and patriotism!Ingredients:

4 sheets of store bought (or homemade) pie crust
Cherry pie filling
1 egg

Directions:

Grease a ¼ sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lay two sheets of pie dough into the prepared sheet pan. Flatten the edges and press the dough into the pan nicely.
Poke fork holes all along the bottom of the pan into the pie crust.
Fill the pie crust with cherry pie filling and spread evenly.
With the remaining 2 sheets of pie crust, cut 11/2” strips to make the flag stripes, then use a star cookie cutter to cut out stars.
Place 4 starts in the top left corner then place stripes on the top right and bottom side of the pie right on top of the cherry filling.
Brush the top of the pie crust with an egg wash - this is just a whisked egg!
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
