Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). This ensures that your pie will bake evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
-
Prepare filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add fruit: Add the sliced tart apples, fresh cranberries, and frozen cranberries to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently toss the fruit until it is evenly coated with the sugar-flour mixture.
-
Assemble pie: Line a pie pan with pastry dough, then carefully pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter and margarine.
-
Top crust: Roll out another piece of pastry dough and place it over the fruit filling. Trim any excess dough from the edges, then crimp or flute the edges to seal the pie.
-
Ventilation: Using a sharp knife, cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. This prevents the filling from becoming too watery and ensures a crisp, flaky crust.
-
Bake: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy a slice of this warm and comforting Apple Cranberry Pie on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
Tips:
- For a decorative touch, brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve leftovers reheated with a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious next-day treat.
