Modern kitchen appliances not only make the process of preparing homemade baked goods as simple as possible, but also allow you to achieve delicious results. Cherry pie in a slow cooker is the perfect example of this.

Complete harmony

The sweetness of the dough and the tartness of the cherries are a perfect combination of flavors. That's why cherry pies are a frequent and welcome addition to both festive and everyday tables.

Cherry pies have long since lost their seasonality and are no longer a strictly summer dessert. Now, it's easy to buy a bag of these frozen berries at any store: baking with them is just as good as with fresh ones. Plus, you don't have to deal with the tedious task of pitting.

Cherry pie in a slow cooker can be made with absolutely any dough: sponge, puff pastry, yeast, or shortcrust pastry. Either way, this dessert will be a true centerpiece.

Option one, traditional

Making cherry pie.

First, a quick disclaimer. The "glass" in this recipe refers to a special multicooker glass. Its capacity is 160 milliliters.

So, to create the most delicious cherry treat you will need:

  • 300 g cherries (pitted, of course);
  • 200 g butter (softened);
  • 2 – 2 ½ cups flour;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 1 cup of sugar;
  • baking powder - 2 tsp;
  • vanillin (to taste).

Cooking steps:

  1. If the cherries are frozen, now is the time to defrost them. To do this, place them in a sieve or colander to remove excess juice.
  2. Using a mixer, beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, continuously beating. Finish mixing the butter and egg mixture with the flour, baking powder, and vanilla.
  3. Place the resulting (rather thick) dough into a pre-greased multicooker bowl. Arrange the cherries on top.
  4. This slow cooker cherry pie recipe takes exactly 100 minutes (60 + 40) to cook on the "Bake" setting. It also needs to rest for another 10 minutes, covered. After that, remove the pie and dust it with powdered sugar.
  5. But you can put in a little more effort and perfect the dessert: top the pie with sour cream whipped with sugar and decorate it with chocolate shavings and berries. A delicious treat is ready!

Option two, chocolate

Cherry and chocolate pie

To make chocolate cherry pie in a slow cooker you will need:

  • 300 g pitted cherries;
  • 80 g sugar;
  • 320 g flour;
  • honey and cocoa - 2 tablespoons each;
  • baking powder - 1 tsp;
  • half a glass of vegetable oil;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • a packet of vanillin.

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the cherries as in the first recipe. That is, defrost them and let the juice and water drain.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. In a smaller bowl, combine the honey, vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix thoroughly. The sugar should dissolve.
  3. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour the resulting mixture into it. Begin kneading the dough, gradually adding the berries.
  4. Grease the multicooker bowl with butter and fill it with the dough. Close the lid, set the multicooker to "Bake" and set the time to 1 hour. When the cycle is finished, don't rush to remove the cake. It's best to let it sit for another 15 minutes with the lid closed. A steamer rack is helpful for removing the cake, and you can dust it with powdered sugar for decoration.

Option three, cottage cheese

Recipe for cottage cheese pie with cherries for a slow cooker.

Don't limit yourself to the first two options. They're certainly good, but why not try making a new cherry pie in a slow cooker—a cottage cheese pie? Especially since the ingredients are very basic.

You will need to add the following to the dough:

  • 320 g flour;
  • 2 eggs;
  • granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons;
  • 100 g butter;
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder;
  • vanillin.

For the filling:

  • 300 - 400 g cherries (pitted, of course);
  • 350 g of cottage cheese (by the way, you can make it yourself in a slow cooker);
  • 1 glass of 20% sour cream;
  • 160 g granulated sugar;
  • 3 eggs;
  • 1 tablespoon of any starch.

Preparation:

  1. First, you need to defrost the cherries: simply remove them from the bag and place them in a colander. This will allow the excess juice to drain while you prepare the dough.
  2. Beat the eggs with the sugar and softened butter, then mix with the flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Knead into a soft, pliable dough.
  3. Place the prepared dough into an oiled multicooker bowl, smoothing it out along the bottom, making sure to create a rim. Then lightly dust with cornstarch.
  4. Place the cherries on the dough and sprinkle with the remaining starch - this will prevent them from leaking when you cut the pie.
  5. Mix the cottage cheese with eggs, sugar and sour cream, blend until smooth and pour over the berries.
  6. Set the "Bake" program for 80 minutes (60 + 20). Don't touch the lid until the end of cooking! Don't rush to open the lid after the oven has finished baking, as the cake will settle. Wait another hour before opening the lid.
  7. But that's not all: now the pie needs to be allowed to cool completely in the pan.
    Finally, the moment has come when your patience will be rewarded: the amazing cottage cheese and cherry pie, cooked in a slow cooker, is ready, it's time to serve it!

This delicate dessert is sure to cause a storm of delight among grateful household members.
