Cherry Bomb Pie

Cherry Bomb is Emporium Pies’ version of the classic fruit pie that grandma left cooling on her windowsill. The flaky latices and all butter crust, filled with tart cherries and brown sugar, and just a touch of salt. This is one of their most popular fruit pies. She’s a looker too.

Baking out of a remodeled 1930’s Victorian bungalow in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas, Texas, Megan Wilkes and Mary Gauntt are creating beautiful, handmade pies with local and seasonal ingredients at Emporium Pies. Since 2011, the artisanal pie maker has been putting a fun, imaginative twist on classic pie flavors like Lord of the Pies and The Drunken Nut.
