How to Make Apple And Dried Cranberry Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with the dried cranberries, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to coat.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. Pour the apple and cranberry mixture into the pie crust.
  5. Roll out the remaining pie dough and either place it over the filling or cut it into strips for a lattice top. Crimp the edges to seal.
  6. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
