Apple Cranberry Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.) Position oven rack in the bottom third of the oven.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the dried cranberries, sugar, flour and allspice. Mix in the apples, brandy and vanilla. Place bottom crust into a 9 inch round pie pan so that it hangs 1 inch over the edges. Pour filling into the crust and cover with top crust. Seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top using a small knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Fit a pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and arrange sliced apples into crust. Spread cranberries over apples. Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle mixture over cranberries. Distribute butter pieces over pie filling. Place remaining crust over filling, crimp both crusts together, and cut several slits into top crust to vent steam.
• Bake until pie is browned and fruit filling is bubbling, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Refrigerate while preparing filling., In a large bowl, combine the sugar and next 6 ingredients. Add apples and cranberries; toss gently. Spoon filling into prepared pie plate; dot with butter., Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. , Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 45-50 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Using a pastry cutter, gradually work the butter and shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. This step should take 3 to 4 minutes.
• Lightly beat the egg with a fork, then add it to the crust mixture. Next, add the cold water and vinegar. Stir the mixture together until it?s just combined. Divide the dough in half and form into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss the apples, cranberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt and lemon juice. Set aside and see how long you can keep from sneaking a slice of apple.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. With a rolling pin, begin rolling out the dough disks into 12-inch rounds on a lightly floured surface, rolling from the center outward. Be gentle and patient; it?ll take a little time to get the dough completely rolled out. If you think the bottom is really sticking to the surface below, use a nice sharp spatula to loosen the dough and sprinkle some extra flour on top. Then flip it over to finish rolling. Loosen the dough with a spatula, lift and carefully place each round on a prepared baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place half the apple-cranberry mixture on 1 dough round and the other half on the other round. Fold in the edges so that the dough covers 2 to 3 inches of the apple-cranberry mixture. No need to be artistic?the more rustic, the better. Freeze the pies 30 minutes.
• Dot the tops of the pies with the butter chunks. Brush the crust edges with the egg wash. Bake the pies until the filling is golden and bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil for the remaining baking time. Let the pies cool slightly, then slice into wedges.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; add the cranberries, raisins and walnuts. Combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to apple mixture and toss gently to coat., On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate; transfer to plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edges. Fill with apple mixture and dot with butter., For topping, combine flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If necessary, cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.

Steps:

• On a lightly-floured surface, roll out half of the pastry and line a 9" pie plate.
• In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the water, cinnamon and salt.
• Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries pop.
• Stir in the apple slices and raisins.
• Combine the corn starch and remaining water and blend into the cranberry mixture.
• Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until thickened slightly.
• Spoon the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate.
• Roll out the remaining pastry and place on top of the pie, leaving a 1" overhang.
• Trim the edges.
• Tuck the overhang under the bottom crust and press together to form a rim.
• Flute the rim.
• Cut steam vents in the top of the pie and bake in a 400 degree F oven for about 35 minutes or until the crust is golden.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently stir in apples, pears and dried cranberries. Pour filling into crust-lined pie plate.
• In small bowl, mix topping ingredients until crumbly; sprinkle over filling.
• Line 15x10-inch pan with foil; place on oven rack below the rack pie will be baked on to catch any spillover. Loosely cover pie with sheet of foil; bake 1 hour. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.

Steps:

• To make crust, follow directions for Pumpkin Pie crust. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll pie dough out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate while you make the filling and topping.
• To make filling, mix all filling ingredients together in a medium bowl.
• To make topping, mix all topping ingredients together in a small bowl. The topping mixture should clump when pressed together.
• Add filling to cold pie crust and scatter topping all over the filling. Bake at 400 degrees until the juice in the center of the pie is bubbling, about 1 hour. If the crust or topping becomes too dark, cover the pie loosely with foil.
• Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Bring cranberries, juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and pressing berries against side of pot, until berries have completely broken down and juices have thickened to jamlike consistency (wooden spoon scraped across bottom should leave clear trail that doesn't fill in), 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in water, and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cornstarch in large microwave-safe bowl; add apples and toss to combine. Microwave on high power, stirring with rubber spatula every 3 minutes, until apples are just starting to turn translucent around edges and liquid is thick and glossy, 10 to 14 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• While fillings cool, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place rimmed baking sheet on oven rack, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Remove 1 disk of dough from refrigerator and roll out on generously floured (up to 1/4 cup) work surface to 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Roll dough loosely around rolling pin and unroll into pie plate, leaving at least 1-inch overhang. Ease dough into plate by gently lifting edge of dough with one hand while pressing into plate bottom with other hand. Leave dough that overhangs plate in place; refrigerate until dough is firm, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer cooled cranberry mixture to dough-lined pie plate and spread
• into even layer. Place apple mixture on top of cranberries, mounding slightly in center; push down any sharp apple edges.
• Roll second disk of dough on generously floured work surface (up to 1/4 cup) to 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Roll dough loosely around rolling pin and unroll over pie, leaving at least 1-inch overhang on each side.
• Using kitchen shears, cut evenly through both layers of overhanging dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Fold dough under itself so that edge of fold is flush with outer rim of pie plate. Flute edges using thumb and forefinger or press with tines of fork to seal. Brush top and edges of pie with egg white and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Using sharp paring knife, cut four 1 1/2-inch slits in top of dough in cross pattern.
• Place pie on preheated baking sheet and bake until top is light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees, rotate baking sheet, and continue to bake until crust is deep golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Transfer pie to wire rack to cool at least 2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in orange peel, cinnamon and nutmeg with wooden spoon. Stir in apples and cranberries.
• In small bowl, mix sugar, pecans and flour; add to apple mixture and stir to combine. Place 1 pie crust in 10-inch metal pie pan. Spoon apple mixture into pie crust, packing tightly and mounding in center.
• On lightly floured surface, roll out second crust to 1/8-inch thickness. Gently place crust over filling; fold edge under and crimp, sealing to bottom crust. Cut 4 or 5 slits in top crust. Place pie pan on 15x10x1-inch pan.
• Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 45 to 55 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cool on cooling rack 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix 1-1/4 cups of the flour and the salt in small bowl; cut in 1/2 cup of the butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, stirring until mixture sticks together; shape into ball. Place on lightly floured surface; roll out to 10-inch circle. Place in 9-inch pie plate; flute edge.
• Mix pie filling and cranberries; spoon into crust. Combine remaining 1/2 cup flour, the sugar, cinnamon and walnuts in medium bowl. Cut in remaining 1/4 cup butter; sprinkle over filling.
• Bake 25 to 35 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring cranberries, water and 6 Tbsp. sugar to boil in small saucepan on medium-high heat; simmer on low heat 8 to 10 min. or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
• Heat oven to 425ºF. Place pie crust in 9-inch pie plate, pleating edge as necessary to fit. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar, egg and vanilla in bowl with mixer until blended; spread onto bottom of crust. Cover with cranberry sauce.
• Peel apples; cut in half. Remove and discard cores. Place apples, cut sides down, on cutting board; cut into thin slices, being careful to not cut all the way through apple to keep all slices for each apple half intact. Arrange over cranberry sauce. Combine cinnamon and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar; sprinkle over apples.
• Bake 28 to 30 min. or until apples are tender and edge of crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Using on/off turns, blend in enough ice water by tablespoonfuls to form moist clumps. Gather dough together and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten into disks; wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• For filling:
• Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Combine apples, dried cranberries, flour, brown sugar, lemon juice, nutmeg and cloves in large bowl. Toss to blend.
• Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Spoon filling into crust, mounding slightly in center. Dot with butter. Roll out second dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Drape dough over filling. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Press top crust and bottom crust together at edge to seal. Fold edge under; crimp edge decoratively. Cut four 2-inch-long slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
• Bake pie 45 minutes. Cover crust edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Continue to bake pie until crust is golden, apples are tender and juices bubble thickly through slits, about 55 minutes longer. Cool pie on rack. Cut into wedges.
