Did all the sugar dissolve?
How much sugar was in the apple juice and cherry juice? Were they both full fat versions i.e. 100% juice and not part water or reduced sugar content?

I'd say 1052 seems about right. If that ferments down to 1.000 which it probably should.
That would be 6.83.%.

I was thinking it would be about 8% with 500 additional grams into 4 litres

When you buy juices you should compare the sugar contents of various makes. It makes a huge difference.
