Cherry and blueberry pie is a fruity and fun surprise that goes beyond the usual dessert in this double-crusted treat.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
Press one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie plate. Stir together 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in cherry pie filling and blueberries. Spoon into pie crust. Top with second crust and press the edges to seal. Flute edges or press with the tines of a fork. Whisk together egg white and water in a cup with a fork. Brush over the top of the pie, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they appear to be getting too dark. Cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.

Everyone LOVED the flavors mixed and the pie was a huge success. I doubled the recipe, added a 1/3 c more sugar and 4 tablespoons of butter in single T pats on top of the filling before covering with top shell(something my grandmother always did) and used a very deep dish pie pan saving back about 1/2 cup of filling, pie did over flow a bit but somehow it just wouldn’t be berry pie if it didn’t over flow. I always cook on an old cookie sheet. I also had to increase the cooking time, starting at 425 for about 15 minutes then 350 for 60 minutes.

I used this recipe for a pie auction at church so didn’t have a chance to try it. After it was sold it was cut and everyone who tried it wanted the recipe. I have since baked one for us and it is without a doubt the best pie I have ever tried – and the easiest. I did substitute a large can of pie filling and removed about half the filling part. Used all the cherries. Scant two cups of blueberries. Also used 1/4 cup Splenda for Baking instead of the sugar.

This pie is amazing! I actually prepared it a couple months ago-minus the egg white and suger on top and froze it-took it out of the freezer today, added the egg and suger and popped it in the oven on 350 for about 70 minutes, Everyone LOVED it!!
I’m actually planning on making at least 2 more(this week) to stick in the freezer for when i need a good pie! -

I remembered the recipe wrong when I went to the store and got blueberry pie filling. I “washed” the filling part off in a collander and just used the blueberries left over. Also, I don’t own a pastry brush so I used my husband’s grill, baster brush to apply the egg wash. I also over cooked it.
Regardless of what I did it still came out great. The cherries make it sweet and the blueberries give it a tartness. Oh yeah, I also used premade pie shells! -

WOW! This pie was not only easy, easy, easy but was one of the best tasting pies I have ever made. I made my own crust (since I do not like store bought). I used lite cherry pie filling and it was just about the right sweetness. Since I used lite pie filling I could splurge with putting ice cream on top of my piece. This recipe is a keeper!

This recipe is GREAT! Very easy and tastes delicious. I’m not a big fan of cherry pie, but had pie crust and frozen blueberries on hand that needed to be used up. I found this recipe and the reviews enticed me to make it. Boy, am I glad I did. I served it at a small party while it was still warm… it got rave reviews!!

I used this recipe for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it! The crust turned out beautifully. I used a deep round casserole dish, and I probably could have used more of the filling.
I wanted an all cherry pie, so I used frozen cherries instead of blueberries. The large frozen cherries with the smaller cherries in the pie filling made a great combination.
Very easy recipe for a beginner!

Fabulous! I did have a few issues with the crust, however (but no fault of the recipe). I used frozen pie crust but forgot that you are supposed to take one crust out of the tin, still frozen, and thaw it out on wax. I left it in the tin to thaw, and couldn’t get it out with out tearing it. So I balled up the dough, rolled it out, and attempted a lattice crust which worked ok. During baking I realized the edges were darkening fast, so I went to cover the edges with foil, only to find I was out! I left the pie in the oven as long as I could, but I had to take it out after 30 minutes to avoid burning. The end result was still delicious, although the crust didn’t stay together very well 🙂

If I could give this recipe more than 5 stars I absolutely would! This was so delicious! I had a lot of fresh blueberries given to me and I was looking up recipes to use them in and this is the first one I tried. This is also the first fruit pie I have ever made. I just subsituted the fresh blueberries in place of the frozen. I did use a 12 oz. frozen pie crust instead of a 15 oz. refrigerated pie crust. I don’t think it really made to much of a difference. The eggwhites brushed on and then sprinkled with sugar made it taste amazing. I did put tin foil over the edges so they wouldn’t burn. The blueberries and the cherries mixed together tasted so good! I topped my piece with whipped cream and my fiance had vanilla ice cream with his. But it would be delicious by itself! I still have a ton of blueberries left and a lot of different recipes to try out but I plan to make this again soon! ::UPDATE:: I ended up freezing a lot of the fresh blueberries I had this summer. I have made this pie several times using fresh and several times using the same blueberries frozen. Even though the pie is delicious both ways it is better using the frozen blueberries! When using the frozen -you don’t loose the blueberry taste to the cherry pie filling.

this was the first pie i’ve ever baked. i followed all the directions exactly. i used a homemade pie crust from wheat pastry flour and the combination was fantastic! everyone at thanksgiving was so full but they definitely made room for this dessert. i pulled it out of the fridge an hour before serving and it was slightly chilled. perfect!

I made this yesterday and it was the easiest pie I have ever made. I usually have all the ingredients on hand, so it’s win – win for my family!!! We have been snowed in the past couple of days, and we wanted a fruity dessert so I did an ingredient search and this is what came up. My husband who likes blueberries but not cherries loved it! My 3 teenage boys ate two pieces each and when the pie plate was empty they asked me to make another one, which I did today. I will be making this pie often. We loved it!!

What a pie! The smell that fills the house, the flavors of cherry, blueberry and a hint of cinnamon all mingled together in a light flaky crust-doesn’t get any better. I’ve made this several times now and, like others, have found it needs more filling for our taste. I double the ingredients now and it is even better!

I just made this for my cherry pie disliking family. I made it as a compromise. I love cherry pie, they hate it, they love blueberry pie, I hate it. We all LOVED this pie. I put a little too much cornstarch in but I probably would do it again b/c I can’t stand runny fruit pie. If I wanted that, I’d make cobbler. This was a good recipe. A good basic, basic flavor recipe.

My family enjoyed this pie but unfortunately I did not. I’m giving it for stars based on what everyone else said. The problem I had with it was the filling. It was really thick and felt weird in my mouth. If I ever make this pie again, I’ll try cutting back on the cornstarch. Also, the filling didn’t have the “zing” that I prefer in cherry pies. I didn’t rate this recipe down for that because it may just be the pie filling I used.

I can see why this has 5 stars! It is so quick and tastes awesome! I did adjust the temperature to 375 and baked for about 45 minutes. 425 is way too hot and will burn the crust. Which happened the first time I baked it. Second time at 375 was perfect. Thanks for submitting!

I used fresh blueberries, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect!
I did cover my crust with foil for the first 30 min. then took it off for the last 10. Mine only needed 40 minutes and it was beautifully golden brown. I put cool whip on top and it was a huge hit with my hubby!!!! Perfect for the 4th of JULY! -

This is a great recipe. I have made Blueberry as well as Cherry before and always suspected something was missing. Cinnamon. This came out perfect but I want to add that I did make one change. I used fresh blueberries but I froze them first. Besides that followed everything exact and it came out great. In fact, besides my apple pie this is the best pie I’ve made to date. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This was good, and better than the average cherry pie. I love the depth the cinnamon gives to it (I added more than the recipe called for b/c we love it in everything). I also zested some lemon into the filling mix, which my husband really liked. I think next time though I would add a little more cornstarch. It’s not runny or anything, just a personal preference.

My husband and father in law love pie. I’m not big on it but I found this recipe by mistake and thought that i would chance it. It’s AMAZING!! We all love it. It is sweet and tart and super easy to make. I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen and I put about a cup or so extra into the filling batch, just so that it’s really full. I can’t say enough good things about this pie!

There is a reason you don’t see anything less than 5 stars on all the reviews — this pie ROCKS! I’m not a huge fan of just blueberry pie or cherry pie, but together, this really was delicious. And I say “was” because the pie didn’t make it through the morning. And it was just my daughter and me eating it!
I followed everything as originally described with just a couple of embelishments, as others suggested. First, I chilled fresh blueberries in the freezer for about an hour. This supposedly holds in the blueberry flavor more so than fresh, mushy blueberries. I also made it 2 cups instead of 1 1/2. Second, I used the cherry pie filling as described, but I added about 3/4 cub of fresh, chilled, pitted cherries to the mix. I had them, why not use them? Third, I used the pre-made rolled pie crusts. That was for me very easy and doable. Lastly, I did let the pie cool for exactly two hours, but I think a little less time is fine; it was barely lukewarm by then.
All-in-all, a great, EASY recipe. I’ll be making this again for sure. And I loved the fresh cherries. That had a deeper, less tart flavor than the canned cherries.
