Cherry Berry Pie- Made by MiMi

Please share

Full of berries and with a surprising crust, this pie is a family favorite.  Cherry berry pie is sure to become one of your favorites as well! 

This is the second pi day since Carlee started Cooking With Carlee.  I had fully intended on making this pie to celebrate last year but I got sidetracked and did not do it.  I was determined to share one of our favorite pies with everyone this year.  

This recipe was found a long time ago in one of my Taste of Home magazines.  It has been made many times for special occasions in our family.

The original recipe calls for frozen raspberries.  I always have frozen berry mix in my freezer so I often use that instead.  Until I found my new favorite pie crust recipe this was my go to pie crust.  

It’s very easy to make and is a wonderful crust for any pie.  I use an unbleached wheat flour.  It does change the flavor and texture just a bit.

 
I whipped up a batch of vanilla ice cream and warmed up the pie to finish off our family dinner this week.  Everybody really enjoyed this special dessert.  Happy pi(e) day!
