Instructions

Crush the Teddy Grahams – Start by crushing the Teddy Graham crackers right in the bag. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to crush them into small bits—whatever works best for you. This will be your “crust,” so crush them well!
Add the Cherry Pie Filling – Once your Teddy Grahams are crushed, spoon in a good amount of cherry pie filling. The sweet, tangy pie filling is the perfect way to get that cherry pie flavor in every bite.
Top with Maraschino Cherries – For a little extra cherry goodness, add a couple of maraschino cherries on top. These add a pop of color and an extra touch of sweetness that takes this dessert over the top!
Add Whipping Cream – Finally, top it all off with a generous dollop of whipping cream. The creamy, fluffy texture perfectly complements the tart cherry filling and crunchy cracker base.
Serve & Enjoy – Grab a spoon and enjoy your delicious Walking Cherry Pie! It’s the perfect handheld dessert that’s as easy to make as it is to eat.

Tips & Tricks

Use a Heavy-Duty Bag – Choose a thicker snack bag to hold your pie. Thin bags may rip, and no one wants that when they’re craving dessert!
Make it Ahead – Crush your Teddy Grahams before your trip and pack the cherry pie filling and maraschino cherries separately. When you’re ready to eat, just assemble everything—super easy!
Get Creative with the Toppings – If you’re in the mood for extra flavor, feel free to add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce. It’s an indulgent twist that will make your Walking Cherry Pie even more delicious.
Use Canned Whipped Cream – If you don’t want to bother with making whipped cream from scratch, canned whipped cream works perfectly for this recipe. Just keep it cool in your cooler until you’re ready to use it!
Try Other Fillings – While cherry pie filling is a classic, you can easily swap it out for other fruit fillings like blueberry or apple. You could even mix and match flavors for a fun twist!
Pre-Pack Everything for Easy Cleanup – Pack the ingredients in separate containers to keep everything fresh. When you’re ready for your pie, just mix and enjoy—cleanup is a breeze!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh cherries instead of pie filling?

Yes! If you have fresh cherries on hand, feel free to pit and chop them up. Add a little sugar to sweeten them, and they’ll make a great homemade cherry filling for your Walking Cherry Pie.

How do I keep the whipped cream from melting?

To keep your whipped cream nice and fluffy, chill it before your trip. You can store it in an airtight container in your cooler to keep it fresh. If you’re using canned whipped cream, make sure to keep it in a cool place until you’re ready to use it.

Can I make Walking Cherry Pie for a crowd?

Absolutely! Just double or triple the recipe, depending on how many people you’re serving. You can pre-crush the Teddy Grahams and pack the pie filling and cherries in separate bags or containers. It’s perfect for sharing with friends and family around the campfire!
