This scrumptious pie combines bold, mouthwatering flavors to create a delicious pie that has it all! It’s prepared with wholesome ingredients only and is free of dairy, egg, soy and gluten.
Combining cherries with lime takes me back to my first taste of cherry limeade. I am just as hooked on this pie now as I was hooked on cherry limeades in high school.
I love how simple the ingredients are, too. Despite there being nothing super fancy about the ingredients list, the pie is full of flavor, making one think it took hours of your time and endless ingredients to create. It’s also LOADED with fiber, with each serving having 7.3g fiber!
