Ingredients:
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 package prepared pie crust (for top and bottom)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
-
Prepare the crust:
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with the bottom crust, trimming any excess dough.
-
Prepare the filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and cherry pie filling. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Assemble the pie:
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie plate.
- Dot the top of the filling with butter.
- Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Seal the edges and crimp them with a fork. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Final touches:
- Brush the top crust with a little milk to give it a golden finish.
- To prevent the crust edges from burning, cover them with foil.
-
Bake the pie:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 400Β°F (200Β°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the edges to brown.
-
Cool and serve:
- Once baked, transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve the pie warm or cold, according to your preference.
Tips:
- For an extra touch of sweetness, serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, you can increase the amount of tapioca or use cornstarch as a thickening agent.
- Make sure to let the pie cool sufficiently before slicing to allow the filling to set.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat slices in the microwave or oven for a delicious treat later on.
