I wanted a pie that combined the best-loved flavors of the season: apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and nutmeg! We had 5 different types of pie this Thanksgiving, and this pie received the most compliments. It was so good, I'm seriously thinking about entering it in our county fair this summer!

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pie crusts ... 9 inch deep dish
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 granny smith apples
1/2 c butter
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 c dried cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. Press one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate. Reserve the remaining crust.
  • 2. Pour lemon juice into a container large enough for the apples and fill halfway with cold water. Peel and slice apples into lemon water and set aside.
  • 3. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cornstarch to form a paste. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water along with vanilla extract, 1/2 Cup white sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a simmer.
  • 4. Drain the apples and add them to sugar mixture along with cranberries. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • 5. Pour fruit mixture into pie plate and press on top crust. Stir together 1 Tablespoon white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle over pie.
  • 6. Bake 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your pie. Use fresh, ripe apples and cranberries, and high-quality butter and flour.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: When making the pie dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy.
  • Chill the Dough: After making the pie dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking too much in the oven.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pie: When filling the pie, don't overcrowd it. Too much filling will make the pie difficult to bake evenly.
  • Use a Pie Shield: If you're worried about the edges of your pie crust burning, you can use a pie shield. A pie shield is a circular piece of metal that you place over the edges of the pie crust before baking.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely: Once the pie is baked, let it cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

This Caramel Apple Cranberry Pie is a delicious and festive dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling, buttery crust, and crunchy topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this Caramel Apple Cranberry Pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
