Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 12 to 14 servings (makes 2 pies)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup cold vegetable shortening
1 large egg
5 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup cranberries, thawed if frozen
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Using a pastry cutter, gradually work the butter and shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. This step should take 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Lightly beat the egg with a fork, then add it to the crust mixture. Next, add the cold water and vinegar. Stir the mixture together until it?s just combined. Divide the dough in half and form into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss the apples, cranberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt and lemon juice. Set aside and see how long you can keep from sneaking a slice of apple.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. With a rolling pin, begin rolling out the dough disks into 12-inch rounds on a lightly floured surface, rolling from the center outward. Be gentle and patient; it?ll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out. If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below, use a nice sharp spatula to loosen the dough and sprinkle some extra flour on top. Then flip it over to finish rolling. Loosen the dough with a spatula, lift and carefully place each round on a prepared baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place half the apple-cranberry mixture on 1 dough round and the other half on the other round. Fold in the edges so that the dough covers 2 to 3 inches of the apple-cranberry mixture. No need to be artistic?the more rustic, the better. Freeze the pies 30 minutes.
  • Dot the tops of the pies with the butter chunks. Brush the crust edges with the egg wash. Bake the pies until the filling is golden and bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil for the remaining baking time. Let the pies cool slightly, then slice into wedges.

RUSTIC APPLE AND DRIED CRANBERRY PIE



Rustic Apple and Dried Cranberry Pie image

I am hopeless when it comes to making pie crusts. Mine taste good, but they always look terrible! This is a freeform pie that looks nice even when *I* make it! Easy to make, so delicious to eat, and something a little different than the normal apple pie. I clipped this recipe out of a magazine years ago, but I can't remember which one. Time does not include chill time for the crust.

Provided by Vino Girl

Categories     Pie

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
5 -6 tablespoons ice water
2 1/2 lbs apples, peeled cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick (use whatever type you like best, I like a mixture of Macintosh and Granny Smith)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 egg white, beaten
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • PASTRY: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor with a metal chopping blade; pulse to mix.
  • Add butter and shortening and pulse 5-8 more times until the mixture looks like coarse oatmeal.
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 the water and pulse.
  • Gradually add in more of the water in the same manner until the dough holds together when pinched with your fingertips (you may not need all of it).
  • On a floured surface, form the dough into a ball and then flatten into a disk.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and for up to 3 days.
  • FILLING: Toss apples, cranberries, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and spices together in a large bowl; set aside.
  • BAKING AND ASSEMBLY: Preheat oven to 400°F Roll dough on a floured surface to make a 15 inch circle.
  • Fold dough into quarters; place on a large baking sheet and unfold.
  • Place filling in the center of the pastry, leaving a 2 1/2 border all around.
  • Fold the pastry border over the filling (I fold this in several small sections- some pieces of the crust will overlap each other, and this is just how it should be; remember that it's a rustic pie).
  • Brush pastry with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Pull oven rack out so you can get to the pie; cover the pie with foil and bake for 15 more minutes.
  • Cool on baking sheet on a wire rack.
  • Cover and store pie at room temperature.

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.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need before you begin assembling the pie.
  • Use Fresh Cranberries and Apples: Fresh cranberries and apples provide the best flavor and texture for this pie. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: When making the pie dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the dough tough and difficult to work with.
  • Chill the Dough Before Rolling: After you've made the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make the dough easier to work with and less likely to stick to your rolling pin.
  • Use a Sharp Knife to Cut the Butter: When cutting the butter into the flour for the pie crust, use a sharp knife. This will help you create small, even pieces of butter that will distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  • Bake the Pie in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely Before Serving: Once the pie is baked, let it cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant red color and delicious combination of tart cranberries, sweet apples, and crunchy nuts, this Cranberry Apple Nut Pie is sure to be a hit at any gathering. The flaky, buttery pie crust perfectly complements the tangy filling, creating a delightful dessert that everyone will love. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a weeknight treat, this pie is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
