Divide dough in half and shape each into round disk. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate.Combine brown sugar, flour, and Chinese five spice powder in large bowl. Add apples and cherries; gently toss until well coated.Heat oven to 400°F.Roll out one disk of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle, 1/8-inch thick. Fold into quarters.

Alternating between 1-inch and 2 (1/2-inch) ribbons and the braid lay 6 total ribbons vertically and 7 total ribbons horizontally on pie, weaving strips over and under each other to form lattice. (Refer to recipe image for guidance.) Press strips to adhere to crust edge. Add cut-outs around edge, layering over each other as needed to place all cut-outs. (Brushing backs of cut-outs with a little water helps them stick.)Cover edge of pie with pie shield or strips of aluminum foil. Bake 35 minutes. Remove pie shield.
