Working with crust
Use one pie crust to fill bottom of pie plate and cut off any excess, keeping in mind the dough will shrink back when baked. Use a folded piece of aluminum foil to portion off 1/4th of the pie (please refer to video). Place cherry pie filling in larger, 3/4th portion of pie, while placing blueberries in smaller 1/4th portion. Carefully remove the aluminum foil. Then use second pie crust to cut out stars and stripes. place stripes over cherries and stars over the blueberries to mimmic stars and stripes on the American flag. Then use an egg wash, or evaporated milk (even plain milk will work) and brush over the pie dough.
*If possible, use protective shield around rim of pie plate to prevent the edges of the crust from burning. Bake at 375ยบ for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
