Oh, I messed up too and feel your pain! I always bake pies on a jelly roll pan lined with foil. Then if anything bakes over I can just lift the foil and throw away the gooey or burnt mess. HOWEVER, yesterday I forgot the foil. Sure enough it cooked over and burnt to the jelly roll pan. So I had a big mess to soak off of that pan today. Urgh! Have kicked myself a least 5 times.
Sorry about your oven.
ETA: Yes, I made a little 'branch of cherries' from the trimmings of the top crust . I always do that when I make fruit pies - if it's apples or peaches I just make them bigger (and make a crease for the peach-look). Thanks for noticing
