Raspberry Cherry Pie

Taste of Home

No one can resist a slice (or two!) of this tart "cherry-berry" pie. Growing up, my sister and I requested this pie for our birthdays instead of cake. Now it's a favorite of my own family. -Mari Anne Warren Milton, Wisconsin

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh, frozen or canned tart cherries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • PASTRY:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

For filling, in a bowl, combine sugar and tapioca. Add the raspberries, cherries and lemon juice; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder; cut in shortening until crumbly. Combine the egg, water and vinegar. Gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
    Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Place pastry in plate; trim even with edge.
    Spoon filling into pastry. Dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; make decorative cutouts with water; place on top of pie. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 350° for 60-70 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.
