I have made so many pie crusts I couldn't begin to tell you how many. I knew I messed this one up just by the way it felt. I was at the point of No return ..so... I just made it work. When I tried to fold it over ,It was crumbling and breaking all around me. My pear torte became a pear pie.

Sweet Steven has been after me to make a cherry pie. I thought what the heck I'll make that cherry pie filling he loves and throw it in this torte. Well the crust was giving me a hard time..but I made it work! I do not throw things away and start again..really? Who has the time to do that!
So isn't this just pretty..ha ha..just joking...it looks like a big zit..eww just sayin!
OK so that was a pretty gross description. I thought I better throw in a picture of my beautiful daughter! She is 16 and full of love, determination, sassiness(just like her mom) stubborn as a mule but the most caring loving sweet kind will do anything for you person I know(just like her mom :))!!!
This is what I ate after a day of two intense soccer games and a 3 1/2 hour funeral. I was emotionally drained!

Ciao Michelle ! I think even as a pie the torte was great ! Super beautiful girl !
your so cute! lol. I'm not the best pie crust maker myself! Your last plate of food though makes me want to reach in and eat it! I KNOW it had to taste good!
I also wish there'd been a way to dress up the top of the finished pie - a glaze or something.
What's your cherry filling recipe?
Oh. my. goodness...your daughter is so lovely!
Your torte/pie...while it isn't lovely, I am glad that it tasted good.
Some of the best tasting things aren't always the prettiest. I'd love to try your cherry pie someday, and your daughter is just gorgeous!
:)
They look fine to me! What's better than cherry filling and Dorie's pie crust?? :) And your daughter is beautiful, too!!
Since, I end up with several baked goods that don't look gorgeous, I go for the taste. If it tastes good, it is good.
cherries - looks wonderful!
that had to taste way better than it looked, pie crust can be a pain in the butt!
your daughter is gorgeous too... way to distract us from the zit comment :P
Anything with cherries has to be a hit, right? IT ALL looks great...cute photo, too.
Haha, the proof is in the taste, not the looks! Glad you had a good dessert after the soccer games and funeral! Sugar is such a comfort.
LOL - I think it looks much nicer than a zit - who can resist cherry pie! I am with you on the "I am not starting again thing" - I have that conversation almost every time I make pie dough, and I make it work. Thanks for baking along this week - I loved your post, it was fun.
I bet that the pie tasted great with cream!
I think your crust looks that bad! It is after all, Dorie's recipe. Even when it's not perfect, it still looks delicious. :~)
How funny - I almost used cherries (dried) but had a ton of cranberries to use up. It looks wonderful!! ! Especially for such a draining day such as yours!

Sorry to hear your had such problems with the crust, but it definitely happens. Good for you making it work! I bet it was delicious, especially with those cherries - yum :)
I like your attitude FC! :) Go with it and I bet it tasted yummy!
I bet it tasted great even if it wasn't beautiful!
Bummer about the crust but at least you liked the taste!
I'm more concerned with how things taste than how they look. So as long as this tastes great, it's a definite winner in my book.
