I love the tartness of the fruit with the flaky pastry. And since you can get frozen cherries and raspberries, you can make it anytime!

Cherry-Raspberry Rave Pie

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus the time to make, chill, and roll out the crust. If you put on a lattice top that adds time. I am notoriously slow, so it took me awhile!
  • Baking Time: About 60 minutes total.
  • Serves: 7

Baker’s Notes and Tips and Tricks

I like this pie because it is tart, but some cooks may want to add more sugar. This should go in a deep dish - and even then there may be a bit too much fruit. It's an easy pie if you don't make a lattice top.
