Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries
• 4 Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Pre-made pie crusts (top and bottom)
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices (about 1/4-inch thick).

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 4

Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhang to leave about 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the dish.

Step 5

Pour the cranberry-apple filling into the prepared pie crust and dot the top of the filling with small pieces of the unsalted butter.

Step 6

Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the filling. Trim the edges, then crimp or flute the edges to seal. If desired, cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a glossy finish. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
