Gather These Simple Ingredients

To whip up this lovely Cherry and Blueberry Pie, you’ll need the following ingredients, many of which you might already have on hand:

2 refrigerated pie crusts
1 cup Daisy Sour Cream
2 egg yolks, divided
4 tablespoons sugar
1 can cherry pie filling
1 can blueberry pie filling
1 egg yolk (for the wash)
1 tablespoon milk

Let’s Make It Together

Getting ready to create your pie? Let’s follow these warm, inviting steps together.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to create the perfect environment for our pie to bake.
Roll out one pie crust and gently place it into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate, cutting and rolling the crust to fit snugly against the edges to create a cozy base for our fillings.
Roll out the second pie crust, shaping it as desired. This is where you can get creative! Maybe a simple lattice, or a whimsical heart shape for your loved ones.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, 2 egg yolks, and 4 tablespoons of sugar until they’re blended harmoniously. This creamy layer is what makes the pie rich and special.
Spread this delightful mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, creating a creamy foundation for our fruity filling.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over 2/3 of the crust bottom, and the blueberry pie filling over the remaining 1/3. Celebrate the vibrancy of each fruit while creating a beautiful color contrast!
Now, decorate the top of the pie as desired with the second pie crust. Personalize your crust to make it truly special — lacey, crimped, or simply beautiful are all options.
Mix 1 egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of milk and use this mixture to brush over the top crust pieces. This egg wash will help achieve that golden sheen we all love.
Place your pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the topping is set and the crust is a lovely golden brown. Don’t forget to check on it after 30 minutes; if the crust is browning too quickly, gently cover it with foil.
Once done, let your pie cool for about an hour before serving. This waiting period allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set perfectly.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Ready to add your own twist? Here are a few exciting variations to try:

Peach & Raspberry Delight: Swap out the cherry and blueberry fillings for peach and raspberry for a zesty twist! The combination will give you a sunny summer bake.
Cinnamon Spiced Crust: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the top crust for an aromatic touch that pairs perfectly with the fruit.
Chocolate Drizzle: For a decadent touch, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the baked pie before serving, elevating the dessert to gourmet heights.
Nutty Streusel Topping: Top the pie with a crunchy mixture of oats, flour, and nuts instead of a second crust to add texture and warmth.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: This pie can be made a day in advance! Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to make it warm and inviting before serving.
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have sour cream on hand, Greek yogurt works beautifully as a substitute for a creamy texture.
Slicing Fun: To get beautiful slices, use a sharp knife and dip it in warm water before cutting; this helps prevent the filling from oozing out.
Storage Suggestions: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; they should stay delicious for about 2-3 days.
