Ingredients You’ll Need for Cherry and Blueberry Pie

Gather these simple ingredients to create your delightful pie:

4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 can cherry pie filling
1 can blueberry pie filling

Let’s Make It Together

Ready to create a pie that sings of summer? Let’s get started!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Roll out one pie crust and set it in an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Make any necessary cuts and rolls to ensure it fits perfectly along the edges.
Roll out the second pie crust and shape it as desired; set aside for later.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, 2 egg yolks, and 4 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until everything is blended to creamy perfection.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over 2/3 of the crust bottom, followed by the blueberry pie filling over the remaining 1/3.
Decorate the top of the pie with the second crust as desired. Get creative here—cut slits for a classic look or use cookie cutters for charming shapes!
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk and the milk, then brush this mixture over the top crust pieces to give them a beautiful golden color while baking.
Bake on a baking sheet for 60-70 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling merrily. Check after 30 minutes; if the crust edges are turning too brown, cover them with foil.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 1 hour before serving. This cooling period helps the filling set perfectly.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Looking to add a personal touch to your Cherry and Blueberry Pie? Here are some delicious variations to try:

Mixed Berry Medley: Substitute some or all of the pie fillings with raspberries or blackberries for a delightful fruit combination.
Citrusy Zing: Add some lemon or lime zest to the sour cream mixture for a bright, zesty contrast to the sweetness of the fruits.
Coconut Flour Crust: For a gluten-free twist, use a gluten-free pie crust or even a coconut flour crust for a unique taste.
Indulgent Toppings: After baking, drizzle a simple icing made of powdered sugar and milk over the pie for an elegant finish, or serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

To ensure your pie turns out beautifully, here are some of my best kitchen secrets:

Use Cold Ingredients: For the flakiest pie crust, ensure your pie crust and sour cream are cold before using.
Chill the Pie: If time allows, chill your pie before baking to help the crust hold its shape better in the oven.
Storage Tips: Leftover pie can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or you can freeze slices for a quick treat later on.
Perfect Slicing: To get clean slices, let the pie cool completely before cutting. Warming the blade slightly can also help glide through that delicious crust.
