Description
A sweet and tart twist on a classic! 🍒🍎 This Cherry Apple Pie combines juicy apples and cherries in a buttery, flaky crust for the perfect dessert. Ideal for holidays or any cozy weekend treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 2 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 double pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Roll out the bottom pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the fruit filling evenly inside.
- Dot the filling with butter and cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, then cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.

- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool completely before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
🍒 Tip: You can use a lattice crust for a beautiful rustic look. For a deeper flavor, add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the filling.
