4. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees with the rack in the center position. Roll out the dough on a work surface into a circle 25 cm in diameter and about 3 mm thick. To do this, place the pie pan over the dough and trim the edges. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the apricot and cherry filling over the dough, distributing it evenly while leaving a 5 cm border around the edges.
