Ingredients

  • double pie crust
  • 5 apples, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 11/2 cups fresh or frozen* cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, cubed

Instructions

  • Prepare pie crust and chill in refrigerator until ready to roll out.
  • Prepare the pie filling by combining the peeled and sliced apples, cranberries, sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a large bowl.  Toss to distribute evenly and set aside while oven preheats.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.  
  • Roll out bottom crust on a floured surface and carefully transfer to a pie dish.  Spoon cranberry apple filling into the crust, leaving behind any excess juices in the bowl.  Dot the top of the filling with the butter.
  • Roll out top crust on the floured surface then transfer to cover the filling, cutting slits in the top to vent while baking.  Alternatively, you can make a decorative top crust by cutting small holes in a pattern with a small circle cutter or cutting strips and weaving a lattice top.  
  • Trim the edges of the crust and crimp using your thumb and forefinger to finish the edges, then brush the crust all over with a beaten egg wash.  
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  Without removing pie from oven, decrease the baking temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking another 40-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.  You may need to use a pie crust shield to protect the edges from browning too much.  
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3 hours before slicing.  Filling will thicken as it cools.  

Notes

*If using frozen cranberries, thaw completely and drain any excess liquid before combining with sliced apples and other filling ingredients.
