Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 2 cups Fresh cherries (pitted, halved)
• 1.5 cups Mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (fresh)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Cook the filling mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

Step 9

Pour the cooled cherry berry filling into the prepared crust.

Step 10

Roll out the second disc of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling, or cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern.

Step 11

Trim the excess dough, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Fold the edges under and crimp decoratively.

Step 12

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 13

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
