Super Cherry Pie Recipe – Taste Test

I have a confession to make, I’m a little bit in love with cherries. Since today is National Pie Day (yes that’s a thing!) I thought I would share with you my FAVORITE pie recipe. Last time I made this I needed two cans of sweetened condensed milk and I only had ONE, so I decided to make some of my own using Thrive’s Instant Milk and do a taste test. The homemade condensed milk pie turned out amazing! The texture was a little bit thicker and the flavor was just as good! I’ll share the details on that below.
