Ingredients
Frozen mixed berries
12 ounces (Drained)
Sugar
1/4 cup (For berry mixture)
Sugar
1 tablespoon (For sprinkling on top)
Flour
1 tablespoon (For thickening filling)
Cherry pie filling
21 ounces (Ready to use)
Almond extract
1/2 teaspoon (For flavoring)
Refrigerated pie crusts
2 (Unbaked)
Egg
1 (Lightly beaten, for brushing on crust)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained mixed berries, 1/4 cup of sugar, flour, cherry pie filling, and almond extract. Gently mix until the fruit is well coated and set aside to meld the flavors.
3
Take the first refrigerated pie crust and gently unfold it, placing it into a 9-inch pie plate. Make sure the crust fits snugly into the plate.
4
Pour the berry mixture evenly over the pie crust, spreading it out with a spatula if necessary.
5
Unfold the second pie crust and place it over the berry filling. Create slits in the top crust for ventilation, or cut the crust into strips to create a charming lattice design.
6
Flute the edges of the pie crust to seal it well. Brush the top crust with the lightly beaten egg to achieve a shiny finish.
7
Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the top crust for added sweetness and texture.
8
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. If the edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through the baking time.
9
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set up nicely.
