I wanted a pie that combined the best-loved flavors of the season: apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and nutmeg! We had 5 different types of pie this Thanksgiving, and this pie received the most compliments. It was so good, I'm seriously thinking about entering it in our county fair this summer!

½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Stir in 2 tablespoons of water along with the vanilla extract, 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg; bring to a simmer. Drain the apples and add them to the sugar mixture along with the cranberries. Cook and stir 5 minutes; remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the top crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

2 pie crusts ... 9 inch deep dish
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 granny smith apples
1/2 c butter
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 c dried cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. Press one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate. Reserve the remaining crust.
  • 2. Pour lemon juice into a container large enough for the apples and fill halfway with cold water. Peel and slice apples into lemon water and set aside.
  • 3. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cornstarch to form a paste. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water along with vanilla extract, 1/2 Cup white sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a simmer.

  • 6. Bake 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not have the same tart flavor.
  • Make sure the caramel sauce is thick enough: It should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be bubbly.

Conclusion:

Caramel apple cranberry pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
