Cranberry Apple Pie
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cranberries, sliced apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Pour the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover with the top crust or create a lattice pattern. Trim excess crust and crimp edges to seal.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Optional: brush with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
