Notes
Use sweet cherries, like Bing or Rainier.
The best apples to use are Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Gala, or Pink Lady. They hold their shape and don't get too soggy when baked.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat the whole pan in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes or individual portions in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
