Editing How to Bake Deep Dish Plum and Black Cherry Pie

Baking a deep dish plum and black cherry pie is a delightful way to enjoy the sweet and tart flavors of these fruits. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make this delicious dessert:

Ingredients:
- 1 recipe for a double pie crust
- 4 cups of plums, pitted and sliced
- 4 cups of black cherries, pitted
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 

2. Roll out your pie crust to fit your deep dish pie plate. Place the bottom crust in the pie plate and set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, black cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine.

4. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, and dot the top with small pieces of unsalted butter.

5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the fruit mixture. Trim off any excess dough around the edges.

6. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pie crust together, and cut a few slits on the top to allow steam to escape.

7. Brush the top of the crust with beaten egg, which will give it a nice golden brown color when baked.

8. Bake the pie for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
