"To take this to one more level you can spread a large can of cherry pie filling over the top after 1 hour of baking time, should you choose to avoid the canned stuff a quick cherry pie filling can be made homemade using bag of frozen sour cherries cooked with half a cup of water in a saucepan for about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and stir these into the pot. The mixture will thicken within a couple minutes. Cool before spreading on the top of the kugel"
