Cherry pie is a true gastronomic symbol of Detroit. There is a reason for that – approximately 70% of all cherries grown in the United States are from Michigan State. Naturally, local restaurants and cafes make many interesting desserts and pastries with cherries. Regardless of a season, tourists will be able to try an amazing cherry pie that is, by the way, not hard to cook at home.

In order to make the pie, you will need 300g of sugar, 2 tablespoons of tapioca and a similar amount of cornstarch, 1.5kg of fresh or frozen cherries without stones, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and classic dough for tarts or strudel.

To cook the stuffing, mix sugar, cornstarch and tapioca in a deep bowl. After that, add lemon juice and cherries. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, then cover the bowl and leave it for 45 minutes in case the cherries are frozen and 15 minutes if you use fresh cherries. After that, stir the stuffing once again and prepare the base and sides of the future pie using the dough.

Round baking pan with a diameter of approximately 25 centimeters is the best for this pie. Put the base layer of dough to the bottom of the pan. After that, put the cherry stuffing and cover it with the second layer of the dough. Make small cuts in the top layer. The pie is baked in an oven for roughly 25 minutes at a temperature of 190°C. In order not to burn sides of the pie, cover them with foil.

This popular pie is usually served cold in Detroit, so, once the pie is ready, cool it for one-two hours. Local cafes usually serve cherry pie with whipped cream and peppermint leaves. Besides mouthwatering pastries, Detroit restaurants are famous for their traditional meat dishes that are often cooked on an open fire.

Just like other cities in the United States, small restaurants and cafes are widespread in Detroit. As a rule, they offer popular fast food.
