Keywords: For a fruity twist, consider using fresh cherries instead of pie filling; toss them with sugar and lemon juice before layering. Chill longer if possible for enhanced flavor; overnight chilling is ideal. Experiment with different fruit toppings like blueberries or strawberries for added variety.
