How to Make Cranberry Mincemeat Pie

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place rack in the lower third of the oven.
In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups of prepared mincemeat and 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries. Set aside.
Carefully line a 9-inch pie plate with one 9-inch pie crust. Pour the mincemeat and cranberry mixture into the prepared crust.
Top with a second 9-inch pie crust. Crimp and seal the edges, creating a decorative edge. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top crust.
Bake for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. The internal temperature should reach 190-200°F (88-93°C).
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set. Serve chilled.
