Number Of Ingredients 12

THE FILLING:
2 pie crusts
10-oz bag frozen cherries
16-oz bag frozen pineapple chunks
3-4 cups water
2 tbsp corn starch
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp maple syrup
THE TOPPING:
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cardamom

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, pineapple, and enough water to just cover the fruit. Add the corn starch, cinnamon stick, and maple syrup. Stir together, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the fruit is somewhat tender and the filling is nice and thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside. Place one pie crust i n 9 inch pie plate. Pour the filling into the crust. Cut second pie crust into strips and lattice shape over the top of the filling. Then, in a ramekin, combine the vanilla, sugar, and cardamom. Stir vigorously to combine, then sprinkle over the lattice top. This sweet topping helps to give a little more crunch.
