Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 prepared pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract. Stir until well combined and set aside.
3. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and press it firmly against the bottom and sides.
4. Pour the filling mixture into the pie crust.
5. Cover the pie with the second crust. You can create a lattice design or simply lay the crust over the filling and cut a few slits on top to vent the steam.
6. Trim the excess crust and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
7. Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar over it.
8. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spillovers and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbly.
9. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set.
10. Slice and serve the Blueberry Cherry Pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
