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.

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.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • For a sweeter pie, use a sweeter variety of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a tarter pie, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • If you don't have apple cider, you can use apple juice instead. Just add a little bit of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Be sure to roll out the pie dough thinly, so that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust, or the filling will spill out when you bake it.
  • To prevent the pie crust from getting too brown, cover the edges with aluminum foil before baking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving, so that the filling has time to set.

Conclusion:

This cranberry apple pie is the perfect way to celebrate the fall harvest. It's easy to make and absolutely delicious. The sweet and tart cranberries pair perfectly with the apples, and the flaky pie crust is the perfect finishing touch. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
