Ingredients and Weight:

Preparation Time:

30 minutes

Cooking Time:

45-50 minutes

Difficulty Level:

3 (moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine blueberries, cherries, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to coat.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, butter, and cold water. Use your hands or a pastry blender to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Divide the chilled dough into two equal portions and roll out one portion into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
Transfer the dough to the pie plate and trim any excess.
Pour the blueberry-cherry filling into the pie crust.
Roll out the remaining dough portion into another circle and cover the filling. Trim any excess and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Special Precautions and Tips:

If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan instead.
To prevent the crust from getting too brown during baking, cover the edges with foil for the first 20-25 minutes.
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing to prevent the filling from running out.
