I made this for a housewarming yesterday, came out really tastey. Was excellent for breakfast this morning too.

Ingredients

4 cups sliced fresh peaches
1.5 cups pitted washington cherries
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tbls butter cut into small pieces
4 tbls flour
2 pie crusts
1 egg, beaten

Preheat to 400 degrees F. Mix dry sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Coat the cherries and peaches with mixture. Spread out the bottom pie crust and fill. Top filling with pieces of butter. Close off pie, and brush top crust with beaten egg. Bake for 45 minutes.

Here is the pie crust recipe I use:
2.25 cups flour
2/3 cups shortening
1 tbl butter
1 tsp salt
1.5 tbls sugar
6 tbls cold water

Mix sugar, flour, and salt together. Cut in shortening and butter (don't work it too much or it will not be flakey!). Mix in water till dough forms. Split into two balls, wrap in plastic and place in fridge for a few hours before making the pie.
