– 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place one thawed pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted sweet cherries, mixed fresh berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, freshly squeezed lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated—this prevents a soggy bottom.
4. Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust in the dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Place the second thawed pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
6. Crimp the edges of the crusts together with your fingers or a fork to seal them.
7. Cut 4-5 small slits in the top crust with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
8. Brush the top crust evenly with the beaten egg using a pastry brush.
9. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the brushed crust for a sparkling finish.
10. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits. Tip: Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips and avoid a messy oven.
11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing—this helps the filling set properly.
Let the pie cool fully to achieve a firm, jam-like texture that holds its shape when cut. The flavor balances sweet cherries with a bright berry tang, enhanced by a hint of vanilla. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic treat, or try it chilled with a dollop of whipped cream for a refreshing twist.
