Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Make the walnut crust ahead of time: The walnut crust can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.
- Blind bake the crust: Blind baking the crust helps to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind bake the crust, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Don't overfill the pie: Overfilling the pie will make it difficult to seal and may cause the filling to spill over. Fill the pie crust no more than 3/4 full.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to crisp up.
