You can use any type of stone fruit in this pie, shares Crystal Jo Bruns, Illiff, Colorado. I love combining white peaches with sour cherries!—Crystal Jo Bruns, Iliff, Colorado
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen pitted tart cherries, thawed
3 medium nectarines, chopped
3 apricots, sliced
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons plus 2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter, divided
6 to 7 tablespoons ice water
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, combine the cherries, nectarines, apricots, sugar, cornstarch, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine salt and remaining flour; cut in 3/4 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into two portions so that one is slightly larger than the other. Roll out larger portion to fit a 9-in. pie plate; transfer pastry to pie plate. Add filling; dot with remaining butter.
3. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk and water; brush over lattice top.
4. Bake 45-50 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
