CRANBERRY-RIBBON LATTICE APPLE PIE



Cranberry-Ribbon Lattice Apple Pie image

Categories     Fruit     Apple     Fall     Pie     Dessert     Winter     Thanksgiving     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Frozen or Fresh Whole Cranberries
1/4 cup 100% Cranberry Juice
1/4 cup Grand Mariner or Orange Liqueur
6 Granny Smith Apples
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
3/4 cup Light-Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 Frozen Pie Crust Rounds, chilled

Steps:

  • Combine first four ingredients in saucepan and reduce over medium-high heat. Add cranberries; bring to simmer. Reduce heat; simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Toss remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl to combine. Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch deep-dish glass pie dish. Trim overhang to 1 inch. Fill with apple mixture, top with chilled Cranberrry sauce; dot with butter. Roll out second dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round, cut into 1-inch strips and lattice diagonally over apples. Trim overhang to 1 inch. Press crust edges together to seal; crimp. Brush crust with milk. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and pinch of cinnamon in small bowl; sprinkle over crust.
  • Bake pie 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 375°F and bake until crust is golden, about 50 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool at least 2 hours. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples and cranberries. This will help prevent the fruit from tearing and will also make it easier to create a clean lattice top.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Be sure to mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your countertop and will also make it easier to work with.
  • Don't stretch the dough too thin. The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick when you roll it out. If the dough is too thin, it will be more likely to tear.
  • Be careful when transferring the pie to the oven. The pie is heavy, so be sure to use a baking sheet or pizza peel to transfer it to the oven.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The pie should take about 45-50 minutes to bake.

Conclusion:

Cranberry apple lattice pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery crust, tart cranberries, and sweet apples, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
