Tips:
- To make the cranberry-apricot filling, start by cooking the cranberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Then, add the apricots, orange zest, and cinnamon and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- For the pie crust, use a food processor to combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Then, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- When you're ready to assemble the pie, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges. Pour the cranberry-apricot filling into the pie crust and dot with butter.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips. Weave the strips over the top of the pie, trimming any excess dough. Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
