Ingredients
  • CRUST
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 9 TBSP unsalted butter
  • 4-5 TBSP ice cold water
  • FILLING
  • 2½ cups frozen cherries
  • 4-5 apples, peeled and sliced into thin strips
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 TBSP flour
  • 1½ tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP water + 2 tsp. cornstarch, dissolved
  • TOPPING
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 6 TBSP flour
  • 1 stick (8 TBSP) unsalted butter (cold), cut into small pieces
Instructions
  1. Pie Crust: Combine flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Use a fork or a pastry cutter (or your hands) to cut in the cold butter into the mixture.
  2. Add a few TBSP of water and continue to mix. If needed, add more water. (Add only enough water so that the dough begins to clump together).
  3. Form the dough into a round disk, about 5 inches or so. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then stick it in the fridge for 30-40 minutes (up to 2 days) to allow it to chill.
  4. When ready to bake, remove the pastry crust from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Meanwhile, make the filling. First, preheat the oven to 400 F.
  5. Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices.
  6. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the apples, lemon juice, and frozen cherries. Toss to coat.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch and stir until no lumps remain. Add this to the bowl with the filling, along with 2 TBSP flour. Mix well.
  8. Roll pie crust out into a circle that's about 11-12". Lay the crust into a large pie plate. Pour filling over the pie crust.
  9. Topping: Combine oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Cut 1 stick of cold butter into small pieces, and use a fork (or your hands) to cut the butter into the mixture until you have a crumb-like consistency.
  10. Sprinkle topping over the pie filling.
  11. Bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Then, lower the temperature to 350 and continue baking for another 30-40 or so minutes, or until edges are browned and filling starts to bubble.
  12. Remove pie from oven and allow to cool for at least 45 minutes before cutting.
