Apple-Cranberry Pie image

Homemade pie dough filled with sweet-tart apples, cranberries, and a hint of citrus add big flavor to this apple pie recipe.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

0.5 cup sugar
0.25 cup water
2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 cup thinly sliced, peeled tart apples, such as Granny Smith (6 medium)
0.333 cup sugar
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 Pastry for a Double-Crust Pie
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
2.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup shortening
0.25 cup butter, cut up, or shortening
0.5 cup ice water

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan bring 1/2 cup sugar and the 1/4 cup water to boiling. Stir in 1-1/2 cups of the cranberries and the orange peel; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until cranberries begin to break down. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and chill for 45 to 60 minutes or until cooled completely. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cranberries.
  • In a large bowl combine apples, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg; toss gently to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare Pastry for a Double-Crust Pie. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten one pastry ball. Roll pastry from center to edges into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Wrap pastry circle around the rolling pin. Unroll pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate without stretching it.
  • Pour cranberry mixture (which should have the consistency of a loose jam--if it seems watery, strain to remove the excess liquid) into apple mixture; stir to combine. Transfer apple-cranberry mixture to pastry-lined pie plate. Trim pastry even with edge of pie plate.
  • Roll the remaining pastry ball into a 12-inch-diameter circle; cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Weave and/or place strips over filling in a lattice pattern. Press strip ends into bottom pastry. Fold bottom pastry over strip ends; seal and crimp edge. In a small bowl combine egg and the 1 tablespoon water; brush pastry with egg mixture.
  • Cover edge of pie loosely with foil. Place pie on middle oven rack. Line a baking sheet with foil; place on bottom rack to catch any drips. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes more or until filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Pastry for a Double-Crust Pie
  • In a large bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening and butter until pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the ice water over part of the flour mixture; toss gently with a fork. Push moistened pastry to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon of the ice water at a time, until all of the flour mixture is moistened. Gather flour mixture into a ball, kneading gently until it holds together. Divide pastry in half; form halves into balls. Want to add a little more apple flavor? Add 2 tablespoons apple brandy to the filling. Want a twist on traditional pastry? Add 1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel and 1 tablespoon finely snipped fresh thyme to the flour mixture when making the pastry.

APPLE CRANBERRY PIE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons cold water
2 1/2 pounds baking apples like Golden Delicious, Cortland or Mutsu
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups (about 8 ounces) frozen cranberries, thawed and drained
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • For the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits of cold butter. (If the butter gets too soft, refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Use a fork to stir in the egg and water mixture until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is dry, add up to 1 tablespoon more cold water.) Divide the dough into two equal-sized disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • For the filling: Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges and place in a bowl with the lemon juice and cranberries, tossing to combine. Add the sugar and toss again to combine evenly.
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low, cooking until the apples soften and release most of their juices and the cranberries have burst, about 7 minutes.
  • Strain the apple mixture into a colander set over the bowl, shaking it to collect as much of the juice as possible. Pour the liquid back into the skillet, add the cinnamon and ginger, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Return the reduced juice and the apple mixture to the bowl and toss to recombine. Chill the filling until it cools completely, at least an hour and up to 2 days.
  • To assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll each disk into an 11- to 12-inch circle. Lay each dough circle between two pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place a baking sheet on a rack positioned in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with one of the dough discs and trim it to leave a 1/2-inch overhang on all sides. Stir the cornstarch into the filling and add it to the pan.
  • Use a chef's knife, pizza cutter or fluted dough cutter to cut the second round into 1/2-inch thick strips. Lay strips of dough, evenly spaced, across the entire pie. Weave more strips of dough perpendicular through the previous strips to make a lattice or basket weave design across the entire pie. Trim the excess ends from the strips of dough. Pinch the bottom crust edge and lattice edge together, and flute the edge as desired. Brush the surface of the dough with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Let the pie cool 1 hour before serving. Once completely cooled, the pie keeps well at room temperature (covered) for 24 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.

CRANBERRY-APPLE PIE



Cranberry-Apple Pie image

I would strongly suggest to use a good quality whole cranberry sauce such as Ocean Spray it will really make a difference to the flavor and texture of the filling --- if desired this will also work great using a crumb topping in place of a top crust, I have listed the ingredients and amounts at the bottom of the recipe, or use your own favorite crumb topping recipe.

SKY-HIGH APPLE-CRANBERRY PIE



Sky-High Apple-Cranberry Pie image

Crowd-pleasing apple pie achieves Paul Bunyan proportions, calling for a mountainous five pounds of apples and a batch and a half of dough. Cranberries bring a hint of tartness to the apples' familiar sweetness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 3h25m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large disk plus 1 small disk Versatile Pate Brisee
All-purpose flour, for surface
5 pounds heirloom baking apples, such as Arkansas Black, Carpentin, Jonathan, Knobbed Russet, or Northern Spy (about 10)
1 1/2 cups fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons heavy cream, for egg wash
2 tablespoons sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make the crusts: Roll out small pate brisee disk to a 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Repeat rolling with large pate brisee disk, and cut out a 12-inch circle; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate crusts until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel and core apples. Cut each into 1/2- to 1-inch-thick wedges, and transfer to a bowl. Toss in cranberries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Transfer filling to bottom crust; dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Fold edges under; crimp. Cut eight 2 1/2-inch vents into dough to let steam escape. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Gently brush top crust with egg wash; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake pie set on a rimmed baking sheet for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 1 hour 20 minutes more. (Tent with foil if crust is browning too quickly.) Let pie cool completely in plate set on a wire rack. Pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of apples. This will give your pie a variety of flavors and textures. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core your apples. This is the most time-consuming part of making apple pie, but it's worth it. Peeling and coring your apples will make them easier to slice and will prevent the pie from becoming too mushy.
  • Slice your apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and will make the pie easier to eat.
  • Use fresh cranberries. Dried cranberries can be used, but they will not give your pie the same tart flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can substitute frozen cranberries.
  • Don't overcook your pie. The apples should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook the pie, the apples will become mushy and the crust will be dry.

Conclusion:

Apple pie with cranberries is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easy to follow and produces a delicious and beautiful pie. With a few simple tips, you can make the best apple pie with cranberries that you've ever tasted.
