Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, cherries, sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir until the fruits are well coated.
3. Assemble the pie: Place one pie crust on the bottom of a baking dish. Pour the fruit mixture on top and spread evenly. Dot with small cubes of butter.
4. Cover the pie: Cut the second crust into strips and arrange them in a lattice pattern (criss-cross) over the filling.
5. Egg wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
6. Bake: Place in the oven for 40–45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Cool slightly before serving so the filling sets.
