4th of July Cherry Pie

We did something fun since 4th of July is just around the corner. We used pie shells, cherry pie filling and a star shaped cookie cutter to stamp out stars for the top. The kids had a lot of fun doing it. We rolled up the extra into balls to go in between the stars and then reinforced the edges.  It came out pretty festive!
