Layered Apple Cranberry Pie

Indulge in the irresistible flavors of a Layered Apple Cranberry Pie, a show-stopping dessert perfect for any holiday table or cozy gathering. This gorgeous pie combines tender layers of tart Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples with bursts of sweet yet tangy fresh cranberries, all enveloped in warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

With simple ingredients like granulated and brown sugar, a hint of salt, and a touch of flour for thickening, this pie strikes the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Serve it warm or cooled, on its own or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for a dessert that’s as comforting as it is impressive.

Ingredients

• 2 sheets Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup Fresh cranberries
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a 9-inch pie dish with one sheet of pie crust, trimming the edges if necessary.

Step 3

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set aside in a large bowl.

Step 4

Rinse and drain the fresh cranberries. Add them to the bowl with the apples.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples and cranberries, tossing well to coat all the fruit evenly.

Step 7

Transfer half of the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Dot 1 tablespoon of butter over the fruit layer.

Step 9

Add the remaining fruit mixture on top, spreading it evenly, and dot with another tablespoon of butter.

Step 10

Cover the pie with the second sheet of pie crust. Trim any excess, then crimp or flute the edges to seal.

Step 11

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 14

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 15

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
