I have only made homemade apple pie filling which you could use instead. If you wanted to make your own just add: 2/3 c sugar, 1/4 c cornstarch, 1/4 tsp salt, 1.5 c water + 2 Tbsp. lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then add 4 c fresh tart cherries, pitted. Cook for a few more minutes, then allow to cool.
