How to Make Apple Cranberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare one 9 1/2-inch pie pan or two smaller pie pans with one pie crust each.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and apple juice until smooth. Add this mixture to the apples and stir to combine.
  5. Stir in the thawed cranberries and corn syrup until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the apple and cranberry mixture into the prepared pie crust(s).
  7. Dot the top of the filling with the butter pieces.
  8. Top with the second pie crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  10. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  11. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
