- 2 21- ounce cans Cherry Pie Filling

*
- If you need to make your own graham cracker crumbs, you will need about 2 sleeves of graham cracker sheets. Crush them in a food processor or in a baggie using a rolling pin. You might be a few tablespoons short or over, but it will be fine. Unlike a standard pie crust, a graham cracker crust is a bit more forgiving.
Notes
- Baking the graham cracker crust is optional but gives the crust a toastier flavor.
- Vanilla wafers or shortbread cookie crumbs can be used instead of graham cracker crumbs.
- Can be made in 2 8-inch X 8-inch pans, or two premade graham cracker or shortbread pie crusts.
- 2 cups of Dream Whip or homemade whipped cream can be used in place of whipped topping.
- Other pie fillings may be used as a substitute for cherry. Try Blueberry for a blueberry delight.
- Total time provided includes 4 hour refrigeration time.
