Instructions
Creating your own Apple Cranberry Pie can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
For the Pie Crust
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add Water: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
3. Form the Dough: Divide the dough into two balls, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For the Filling
4. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine apple slices, cranberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat.
6. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
7. Add Filling: Pour the apple and cranberry mixture into the pie crust. Dot with butter.
8. Top Crust: Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Cut slits in the top for ventilation and crimp edges to seal.
9. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
