Duncan Hines Wilderness No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling & Topping, 20 oz — Spoonable, Fruit-Forward

Duncan Hines Wilderness No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling and Topping is a 20-ounce jar of cherry filling designed for pies, desserts, and toppings that adds fruit-forward flavor without added sugars.

This no-sugar-added cherry pie filling brings bright cherry flavor and a glossy finish to baked goods and desserts while letting you control added sweetness. Packaged in a convenient 20-ounce container, it’s formulated to deliver spoonable cherries suspended in a clear, thickened syrup made from fruit and alternative sweetening components. It’s versatile enough to be used straight from the jar as an ice cream topping or warmed and folded into pastry for a classic cherry pie.

How do I use this filling in homemade pies and tarts?

Use the filling as a ready-made pie center to save prep time: pour it into a prepared crust, cover with lattice or full top crust, and bake according to your pie dough recipe until crust is golden. Because the filling is already thickened, it helps set the pie faster than raw fruit mixtures. For a firmer result, bake slightly longer or add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the filling before filling the crust.

• Pour directly into unbaked or partially baked crusts and bake per crust directions
• For a deeper, firmer filling, stir in 1 Tbsp cornstarch if desired
• Use a slotted top crust or vents to prevent overflow during baking

Can I use it as a topping or in no-bake desserts?

Yes—this product is ideal as a topping for ice cream, cheesecake, pancakes, or yogurt because it’s already spoon-ready and glossy. Warm a small amount briefly to loosen the syrup for pouring, or serve chilled to retain whole cherries and texture. It also mixes well into layered parfaits or can be folded into whipped cream for an easy fruit mousse.

• Spoon over frozen desserts or warm gently for a pourable sauce
• Layer into parfaits, trifles, or cheesecake topping for instant fruit flavor
• Fold into whipped cream for a quick cherry mousse or filling

What storage and serving tips should I know?

Unopened, store the jar in a cool, dry pantry away from direct heat; once opened, refrigerate and use within the time frame on the label for best quality. Warm gently in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl if you prefer a saucier texture—stir to keep the cherries intact. Use within a few days after opening for peak freshness and texture; freezing in portions is possible but may slightly change the fruit’s firmness.

• Pantry-stable until opened; refrigerate after opening
• Warm briefly to thin the syrup for pouring or serve chilled for chunkier texture
• Freeze in portions if you want long-term storage; expect minor texture changes

What makes this different from regular pie fillings?

Designed for shoppers seeking reduced or no added sugar, this filling focuses on fruit flavor and a lighter syrup profile while maintaining the glossy, spoonable consistency expected of a pie filling. It’s crafted from ripe cherries and thickening agents to deliver a homemade-style appearance without the added sugars found in many dessert toppings. The 20-ounce size balances convenience and yield, large enough for a standard pie or multiple dessert uses.

• No sugar added formulation for lower added-sugar desserts
• Ripe cherry pieces suspended in a thickened, glossy syrup
• 20-ounce jar fits standard pie needs and multi-use dessert planning

Who is this for: Bakers and home cooks who want a quick, fruit-forward cherry filling without extra added sugars—ideal for anyone making pies, topping frozen treats, or adding cherries to layered desserts. It suits busy kitchens that appreciate ready-to-use ingredients, households seeking lower added-sugar options, and dessert lovers who want bright cherry flavor without extra prep time.
