Cranberry Apple Pie image

I found this recipe in an old magazine while looking for dessert ideas for our Canadian Thanksgiving this year. It immediately caught my eye. My husband liked it so much that he has requested it for Christmas. It is a little different from the other cranberry apple pies as the fruit is baked in a custard and the crust contains cream cheese. Try it, you'll love it!

Time 2h

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cold butter
3 ounces cream cheese
3 -4 tablespoons cold water
4 large granny smith apples, peeled,cored and thinly sliced
3 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup red currant jelly

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, mix the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Add the butter and cream cheese and cut in with a pastry blender until the particles are very fine.
  • Stir in the water, mixing until a ball of dough forms.
  • Knead the dough 3 or 4 times on a floured surface into a smooth ball.
  • Wrap and chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To make the filling, mix together the apples, cranberries and walnuts.
  • Roll out 2/3 of the pastry on a floured surface to a 13-inch circle.
  • Use the pastry to line the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch pie plate.
  • Fill with the apple mixture.
  • To make the custard, beat the egg, flour, sugar, cream and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture evenly over the apple mixture.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11-inch circle and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips.
  • Arrange and weave a lattice over the top of the pie.
  • Fold the edge of the bottom pastry over the lattice to hold the strips in place.
  • Bake 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Heat the jelly until it bubbles.
  • Spoon the jelly evenly over the top of the pie.
  • Cool to lukewarm; cut into wedges.

The crust on this pie was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll definitely try making it again with a different crust recipe.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a Granny Smith apple. Next time I'll try using a sweeter variety.

This pie was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out great.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but this pie was surprisingly delicious! The apples really balanced out the tartness of the cranberries, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This cranberry-apple pie was a hit! The combination of tart cranberries and sweet apples was perfect, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making this again.
