APPLE CRANBERRY PIE



Apple Cranberry Pie image

Cranberries, apples, cinnamon spice, and a buttery homemade pie crust makes this apple cranberry pie one of my favorite fall recipes.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Pie

Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 11

homemade pie crust (my recipe makes 2 crusts; 1 for bottom 1 for top)*
3 large apples, cored, peeled, and sliced into 1/2-inch slices (about 6-7 cups)
1 and 1/2 cups (187g) fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons (14g) cornstarch
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk

Steps:

  • Prepare my pie crust recipe through step 5.
  • Stir the apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Set filling aside as the oven preheats.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Spoon the filling into the crust, leaving any excess liquid in the bowl (you don't want that in the filling- discard it). Dot the pieces of butter on top of the filling. Stick in the refrigerator until ready to cut the lattice.
  • Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough into a circle that is 12 inches diameter. Using a pastry wheel, sharp knife, pizza cutter, or this fun ribbon cutter, cut strips 1 or 2 inches wide. Remove the pie from the refrigerator and carefully thread the pie dough strips over and under one another, pulling back strips as necessary to weave. Press the edges of the strips into the bottom pie crust edges to seal. Use a small knife to trim off excess dough. Crimp the edges with a fork, if desired. See recipe notes for making the braid or apple shapes! (Alternatively, you can simply cover the filling with the 12-inch pie dough circle. Cut slits in the top to form steam vents. Trim and crimp the edges. Or crumble topping (from apple crumble pie) or streusel topping (from peach pecan crisp) would be great as well.)
  • Lightly brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash mixture.
  • Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes. After the first 20 minutes of bake time, I place a pie crust shield on top of the pie to prevent the edges from browning too quickly.
  • Allow the pie to cool for 3 full hours at room temperature before serving. This time allows the filling to thicken up. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

APPLE CRANBERRY PIE



Apple Cranberry Pie image

Cranberries add a surprisingly delightful burst of tartness to this apple pie. A lattice crust shows off the gorgeous ruby color inside.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons cold water
2 1/2 pounds baking apples like Golden Delicious, Cortland or Mutsu
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups (about 8 ounces) frozen cranberries, thawed and drained
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • For the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits of cold butter. (If the butter gets too soft, refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Use a fork to stir in the egg and water mixture until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is dry, add up to 1 tablespoon more cold water.) Divide the dough into two equal-sized disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • For the filling: Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges and place in a bowl with the lemon juice and cranberries, tossing to combine. Add the sugar and toss again to combine evenly.
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low, cooking until the apples soften and release most of their juices and the cranberries have burst, about 7 minutes.
  • Strain the apple mixture into a colander set over the bowl, shaking it to collect as much of the juice as possible. Pour the liquid back into the skillet, add the cinnamon and ginger, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Return the reduced juice and the apple mixture to the bowl and toss to recombine. Chill the filling until it cools completely, at least an hour and up to 2 days.
  • To assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll each disk into an 11- to 12-inch circle. Lay each dough circle between two pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place a baking sheet on a rack positioned in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with one of the dough discs and trim it to leave a 1/2-inch overhang on all sides. Stir the cornstarch into the filling and add it to the pan.
  • Use a chef's knife, pizza cutter or fluted dough cutter to cut the second round into 1/2-inch thick strips. Lay strips of dough, evenly spaced, across the entire pie. Weave more strips of dough perpendicular through the previous strips to make a lattice or basket weave design across the entire pie. Trim the excess ends from the strips of dough. Pinch the bottom crust edge and lattice edge together, and flute the edge as desired. Brush the surface of the dough with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Let the pie cool 1 hour before serving. Once completely cooled, the pie keeps well at room temperature (covered) for 24 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
