How To Make Cherry Apple Pie

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges and poke holes in the bottom, then place in the freezer to chill.

In a large bowl, combine the cherry and apple pie fillings and set aside.

In another bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pecans and salt, then pour in the melted butter and stir until clumps form.

Pour the fruit filling into the chilled crust and sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top.

Brush the exposed crust edges with beaten egg.

Bake for 25 minutes, covering with foil after 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar and pumpkin spice until stiff peaks form, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Let the pie cool for 2–3 hours, then serve with pumpkin spice whipped cream.

Substitution: Store-bought whipped cream topped with pumpkin spice can be used in place of homemade pumpkin spice whipped cream.
