Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for dots on top)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (for crust)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold, cubed
- 5–6 tablespoons ice water
- ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- Water (as needed for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix 1½ cups flour with ½ cup cubed cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine cherries, cranberries, sugar, and flour. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie pan. Place it in the pan and fill with fruit mixture. Dot with butter before covering with another layer of dough or lattice.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. If edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- While cooling, mix powdered sugar with almond extract and enough water to create a drizzle consistency; add toasted almonds.
- Drizzle the almond glaze over cooled pie before serving.
