Instructions
1
Prepare the crust: In a food processor, blend together 2 cups of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
2
Add 1/2 cup of chilled Crisco shortening and 1/4 cup of chilled butter, cutting them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
3
Gradually stream in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while pulsing the machine until the dough begins to clump together.
4
Form the dough into a ball, flatten it into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5
Preheat your oven to 400°F and position the rack in the top third of the oven.
6
For the filling, combine the cherries, raspberries, sugar, 1/3 cup of flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Let it stand for 20 minutes to allow the juices to meld.
7
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle measuring 14 x 10 inches. Carefully transfer the rolled dough over the fruit filling.
8
Fold the edges of the dough under itself, then crimp the edges decoratively using a fork.
9
Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then brush the crust with the egg glaze and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar on top.
10
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
11
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a generous scoop of premium vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
