This cherry peach lattice pie brings together the best of summer fruits—sweet cherries and juicy peaches—baked into a jammy filling and wrapped in a golden, buttery lattice crust. Perfect for gatherings or a seasonal treat, this rustic yet elegant dessert is as delicious as it is beautiful.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh sweet cherries, pitted
  • 2 cups ripe yellow peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 2 tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tbsp ice water
  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Combine flour and butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually to form dough. Divide in half, wrap each disc, and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Mix filling: Combine cherries, peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, almond extract, and starch. Let macerate 10–15 minutes.
  3. Assemble base: Roll out one disc and line pie dish. Pour in filling.
  4. Make lattice top: Roll out second disc, slice into strips, and weave into a lattice pattern over the filling. Crimp edges.
  5. Finish: Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake: Bake at 400°F for 45–55 minutes until golden and bubbly. Shield edges if they brown too quickly.
  7. Cool: Let cool completely before slicing to allow filling to set.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit if fresh isn’t available—no need to thaw.
  • Tapioca starch gives a clear, glossy finish; cornstarch is a suitable substitute.
  • Bake on the lower rack or a preheated baking sheet for a crisp bottom crust.
  • Dough can be made ahead and chilled or frozen.
  • Add blueberries or raspberries for variety.
