How to Make Apple And Dried Fruit Spice Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) with an oven rack in the lowest position.
  2. Using a food processor, pulse 4 cups peeled and chopped apples into pea-sized pieces. Transfer the apples to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add 1 cup pitted dark sweet cherries, ½ cup dried cranberries, and ½ cup raisins to the food processor. Pulse until the fruit begins to break up. Add this mixture to the apples.
  4. Stir in ½ cup currants, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt, zest of 1 orange, zest of 1 lemon, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  5. Pour the filling into a 9 ½-inch deep-dish pie pan lined with a 9 ½-inch bottom pie crust.
  6. Create a lattice top using ½-inch to ¾-inch wide strips of pie dough. Weave the strips over the filling, creating a lattice pattern.
  7. Trim excess dough, flush with the edge of the pie pan. Use floured fingers to crimp the edges and seal the strips to the bottom crust.
  8. For even baking, place the pie on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If necessary, place a drip pan on the oven rack below the pie for the last 30 minutes to catch any drips.
  9. Let the pie cool completely to room temperature before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  10. Refrigerate any leftover pie.
