Description
A warm and nostalgic holiday pie featuring sweet apples and tart cranberries, enhanced with spices for a cozy touch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups apples (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup butter, cold
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Ice water as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel, core, and slice the apples, then toss them with cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt, then cut in cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water to form the dough, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Dust your surface with flour, roll out half the dough into a circle, and place it in a pie dish. Fill with the apple-cranberry mixture.
- Roll out the remaining dough, topping the pie with it or creating a lattice top. Cut slits for steam to escape.
- Brush with melted butter, sprinkle sugar, and bake for 45 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
