Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

This pie combines the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of apples, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Its flaky crust and warm spices make it a comforting treat for any season. It’s easy to make and sure to impress family and friends.

Best Cooking Tips

- Use fresh cranberries for the best tart flavor and texture.
- Chill the pie dough before rolling it out to prevent shrinking.
- Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.

Directions

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix together the pink apples, Granny Smith apples, cranberries, brown sugar, flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until all the fruit is well coated. Roll out half of your dough and fit it into your pie dish. Pour the apple and cranberry mixture in, then dot the top with small pieces of butter. Roll out the remaining dough and cover the filling, pressing the edges of the top and bottom crusts together. Tuck the edges under and crimp them to make a nice border. Don’t forget to cut a few vents in the top crust so steam can escape. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust has turned golden brown. Let it cool on a wire rack before serving.

How To Plate This Dish

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It also pairs nicely with a hot cup of tea or coffee, making it a delightful dessert for gatherings or cozy nights in.

Freezing Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep the crust crisp, reheat slices in the oven instead of the microwave. You can also freeze the pie for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Great flavors but I think it needed a little more baking to firm up the filling. Still, my dinner guests enjoyed it.
