Directions
  1. 1
  2. 2
    For the crust, combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
  3. 3
    Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles pea-sized chunks.
  4. 4
    In a small cup, mix cold water and vinegar.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the water mixture over the flour one tablespoon at a time, tossing lightly with a fork until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  6. 6
    Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a flat disk.
  7. 7
    On a floured surface, roll out one disk into a circle about 1 inch larger than your 9-inch pie plate.
  8. 8
    Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate, press it gently into the bottom and sides, and trim the edges even with the rim.
  9. 9
    Roll out the second disk of dough for the top crust and set aside.
  10. 10
    For the cream cheese layer, beat softened cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and almond extract until smooth.
  11. 11
    Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom crust in the pie plate.
  12. 12
    In a large bowl, toss thawed and drained cherries with fresh raspberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until well coated.
  13. 13
    Spoon the fruit mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  14. 14
    Place the second dough circle over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  15. 15
    Brush the top crust lightly with beaten egg white and sprinkle with remaining granulated sugar and chopped almonds.
  16. 16
    Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  17. 17
    Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
