Description
A simple recipe for a classic fruit pie featuring apples and cranberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup ice water
- 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust: Mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, form into disks, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix gently.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Roll out one disk of dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges.
- Pour the fruit filling into the bottom crust.
- Roll out the second disk of dough for the top crust. Place it over the filling. Crimp and seal the edges. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If the crust browns too quickly during baking, cover the edges loosely with aluminum foil.
- You can use frozen cranberries without thawing them first.
- For a sweeter pie, increase the sugar to 1 cup.
