|
To make Apple Cranberry Pie you will need
Ingredients
| | One batch flaky pie dough for a 2-crust pie |
| | FILLING | | | | 2 1/2 | pounds | Firm; tart apples, such as northern spy, granny smith or golden delicious | | 2/3 | cups | Sugar; light brown sugar or a combination of both | | 1 1/2 | cups | Cranberries; rinsed and drained | | 2 | tablespoons | Flour | | 1 | teaspoon | Cinnamon | | 1 | teaspoon | Finely grated lemon zest | | 3 | tablespoons | Cold unsalted butter |
Instructions
To form the pie crust, remove dough from refrigerator and place on flat
work surface. Roll dough, still between sheets of plastic, to a 12-inch
disk. Peel off top piece of plastic and invert dough into 9-inch pie pan.
Gently press dough into pan and peel off top piece of plastic. Trim off
excess dough even with edge of pie pan. Chill crust while preparing
filling.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the lowest level. For
filling, peel, halve and core apples. Cut apples into 1/2-inch dice. Place
diced apples in a bowl and add filling ingredients, except butter, tossing
well to combine. Place filling in dough-lined pan, mounding it slightly in
center. Dot filling with butter.
For the top crust, lightly flour work surface and dough and roll to a 9 by
12-inch rectangle; cut each piece of dough into 12 strips, each 9 inches
long and an inch wide. Egg wash the strips and arrange five of them,
equidistant from each other, on the top of the pie, allowing the excess
dough to hang over the edge of the pie. Place five more strips
perpendicular to the first ones on the pie. Trim away excess dough at the
edge of the pie and apply the last two strips to the edge of the pie, egg
wash side down. Flute the edge of the pie and carefully brush with egg
wash. If you wish, sprinkle the top of pie with sugar.
Bake the pie for 15 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven. Lower the
temperature to 350 degrees and move the pie to the middle rack. Bake the
pie about 20 to 30 minutes longer, until the crust is a deep golden and the
juices are just beginning to bubble up.
