Classic Cranberry-Apple Pie
Ingredients: 6
Indulge in the perfect blend of tart cranberries and sweet apples, all wrapped in a flaky pastry crust.
Ingredients
1 | 9-inch double-crust pie shells |
---|---|
1 ¾ | sugar (1 ¾ to 2 cups) |
¼ | cup all-purpose flour |
3 | sliced, peeled tart apples, about 3 medium |
2 | fresh cranberries or 2 cups frozen cranberries, thawed |
2 | tablespoons margarine or butter |
Instructions
-
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
- Begin by preparing the pastry for the pie.
- In a bowl, combine the sugar and flour.
- Arrange half of the sliced tart apples in the bottom of the pastry-lined 9-inch pie plate.
- Next, layer the fresh or thawed cranberries over the apples.
- Sprinkle the sugar and flour mixture evenly over the cranberries.
- Add the remaining sliced tart apples on top.
- Evenly distribute pieces of margarine or butter across the top.
- Cover the filling with the top crust, ensuring to cut slits for ventilation, then seal and flute the edges.
- To prevent excessive browning, cover the edge of the crust with a 2- to 3-inch strip of aluminum foil. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Bake the pie for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown and the juices start to bubble through the slits.
- Serve the pie warm and, for an extra touch of indulgence, pair it with a scoop of ice cream if desired.
