7 baking apples, such as Rome, Granny Smith, or Cortland, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
7 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine apples and pears in a large mixing bowl. Add flour, sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice, and zest, and mix. Add cranberries, and toss gently. Set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie dough to a rough 18-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 12-inch pie dish with the dough. The excess will hang over the side. Transfer apple and pear mixture into pastry-lined pan. Dot the top with butter. Fold the excess dough onto the top of the fruit, creating a container kind of top-crust. You'll cinch it in places to get it just right. It shouldn't be big enough to meet in the middle, but it's fine if it does. Brush pastry with cream.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees; continue to bake until juices are bubbling, about 1- 1 1/2 hours more, or until crust is nice and golden.

Tips:

  • Fresh and in-season ingredients are the key to a great pie. Look for apples that are firm and crisp, and have a good balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  • Don't overwork the pie dough. This will make it tough and chewy. Work the dough just until it comes together, then chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help prevent them from tearing and breaking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pie. Leave some space between the apples so that they can cook evenly.
  • Brush the top of the pie crust with milk or cream before baking. This will help it to brown and crisp.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling, flaky crust, and warm spices, it's hard to resist. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just because you're craving something sweet, this recipe is sure to please.
