Pie with cherries and blueberries - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones for this cherry and blueberry pie?

Yes, frozen berries work well in this recipe. There's no need to thaw them before adding to the dough - just use them straight from the freezer to prevent excess moisture in the pie.

How can I make this pie gluten-free?

You can substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in equal amounts. For best results, add 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (unless it's already in your blend) to help with texture.

What's the best way to store leftover cherry and blueberry pie?

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. The crust stays crisper at room temperature, but refrigeration extends freshness.

Can I make this pie ahead of time and freeze it?

Absolutely! Bake the pie completely, let it cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.

How do I know when the pie is fully baked?

The pie is done when the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, use foil as suggested.

Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe for a less sweet pie?

Yes, you can reduce the sugar by up to one-third without affecting the texture. The berries provide natural sweetness, so the pie will still be delicious.

What can I serve with this cherry and blueberry pie?

This pie pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. For a fancy touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel.

Can I use a different size baking dish than what's recommended?

For best results, use a 9-inch pie dish or similar size. If using a different size, adjust baking time - smaller dishes may need longer, while larger ones will bake faster.

How can I prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the pie?

Toss the berries lightly in flour before adding them to help suspend them in the batter. Also, layering them in the middle as the recipe suggests helps distribution.
