Cranberry Apple Pilgrim Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits of cold butter. (If the butter gets too soft, refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Use a fork to stir in the egg and water mixture until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is dry, add up to 1 tablespoon more cold water.) Divide the dough into two equal-sized disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Peel, halve and core the apples. Cut each half into 4 wedges and place in a bowl with the lemon juice and cranberries, tossing to combine. Add the sugar and toss again to combine evenly.
• Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low, cooking until the apples soften and release most of their juices and the cranberries have burst, about 7 minutes.
• Strain the apple mixture into a colander set over the bowl, shaking it to collect as much of the juice as possible. Pour the liquid back into the skillet, add the cinnamon and ginger, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Return the reduced juice and the apple mixture to the bowl and toss to recombine. Chill the filling until it cools completely, at least an hour and up to 2 days.
• To assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll each disk into an 11- to 12-inch circle. Lay each dough circle between two pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
• Place a baking sheet on a rack positioned in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with one of the dough discs and trim it to leave a 1/2-inch overhang on all sides. Stir the cornstarch into the filling and add it to the pan.
• Use a chef's knife, pizza cutter or fluted dough cutter to cut the second round into 1/2-inch thick strips. Lay strips of dough, evenly spaced, across the entire pie. Weave more strips of dough perpendicular through the previous strips to make a lattice or basket weave design across the entire pie. Trim the excess ends from the strips of dough. Pinch the bottom crust edge and lattice edge together, and flute the edge as desired. Brush the surface of the dough with egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Let the pie cool 1 hour before serving. Once completely cooled, the pie keeps well at room temperature (covered) for 24 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Unroll pie crust onto parchment-covered baking sheet; roll to 12-inch round.
• Mix dry pudding mix and cinnamon in large bowl until blended. Add fruit, nuts and 2 Tbsp. water; mix lightly. Spoon onto crust to within 2 inches of edge; fold edge of pastry over fruit mixture. (Fruit in center will remain uncovered.)
• Beat egg and remaining water with fork until blended; brush onto crust. (Discard any remaining egg wash.) Sprinkle crust with sugar.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until fruit is tender and crust is golden brown. Cool completely.

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:

• PASTRY: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor with a metal chopping blade; pulse to mix.
• Add butter and shortening and pulse 5-8 more times until the mixture looks like coarse oatmeal.
• Sprinkle with 1/2 the water and pulse.
• Gradually add in more of the water in the same manner until the dough holds together when pinched with your fingertips (you may not need all of it).
• On a floured surface, form the dough into a ball and then flatten into a disk.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and for up to 3 days.
• FILLING: Toss apples, cranberries, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and spices together in a large bowl; set aside.
• BAKING AND ASSEMBLY: Preheat oven to 400°F Roll dough on a floured surface to make a 15 inch circle.
• Fold dough into quarters; place on a large baking sheet and unfold.
• Place filling in the center of the pastry, leaving a 2 1/2 border all around.
• Fold the pastry border over the filling (I fold this in several small sections- some pieces of the crust will overlap each other, and this is just how it should be; remember that it's a rustic pie).
• Brush pastry with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• Pull oven rack out so you can get to the pie; cover the pie with foil and bake for 15 more minutes.
• Cool on baking sheet on a wire rack.
• Cover and store pie at room temperature.

Steps:

• To make the pastry, mix the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter and cream cheese and cut in with a pastry blender until the particles are very fine.
• Stir in the water, mixing until a ball of dough forms.
• Knead the dough 3 or 4 times on a floured surface into a smooth ball.
• Wrap and chill 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make the filling, mix together the apples, cranberries and walnuts.
• Roll out 2/3 of the pastry on a floured surface to a 13-inch circle.
• Use the pastry to line the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch pie plate.
• Fill with the apple mixture.
• To make the custard, beat the egg, flour, sugar, cream and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
• Pour the mixture evenly over the apple mixture.
• Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11-inch circle and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips.
• Arrange and weave a lattice over the top of the pie.
• Fold the edge of the bottom pastry over the lattice to hold the strips in place.
• Bake 50 to 60 minutes.
• Heat the jelly until it bubbles.
• Spoon the jelly evenly over the top of the pie.
• Cool to lukewarm; cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Press one of the pie pastries into a 9-inch pie plate; reserve the remaining pastry.
• Pour the lemon juice into a container that large enough for the apples and fill halfway with cold water. Peel and slice the apples into the lemon water; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cornstarch to form a paste. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water along with the vanilla extract, 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg; bring to a simmer. Drain the apples and add them to the sugar mixture along with the cranberries. Cook and stir 5 minutes; remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Pour the fruit into the pie plate and press on the top crust. Stir together 1 tablespoon of white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon; sprinkle over the pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the top crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, stevia, and salt. Add butter and rub into flour with your fingers until all pieces are flattened and broken up into pieces ranging from pea-sized to nickel-sized. Add ice water gradually, stirring frequently, until mixture is moistened enough to hold together when pressed in your hand; it should not be sticky or crumbly and dry.
• Transfer dough to a countertop, knead briefly just to bring it together, then flatten into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• On a lightly floured countertop, roll out dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into bottom of dish. Trim all but a 1-inch overhang of dough, then fold overhang back underneath itself so a thick rim of dough rests on the rim of the pie dish.
• Crimp the crust rim by pressing on one side with your thumb and on the other side with your thumb and index finger. Refrigerate crust while you prepare filling and streusel.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss together apples, cranberries, sugar, stevia, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Scrape mixture into crust and return to refrigerator.

• Sprinkle streusel over pie. Place pie dish on a large baking sheet and brush crust rim with beaten egg. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 1 hour.
• Let pie cool completely at room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Divide dough into 2 portions so that 1 is slightly larger than the other; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., Roll out larger portion of dough between 2 pieces of waxed paper into a 18x13-in. rectangle. Remove top sheet of waxed paper; place a 15x10x1-in. baking pan upside down over crust. Lifting with waxed paper, carefully invert crust into pan. Remove waxed paper; press crust onto bottom and up sides of pan. Allow to chill while preparing filling. , In a Dutch oven, mix sugar and flour; stir in apples, cranberries, orange zest and spices. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-12 minutes or until apples are tender and juices are thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in raspberries. Set aside to cool completely. , Preheat oven to 375°. Add filling to prepared crust., On a well-floured surface, roll remaining dough into a 1/8-in.-thick rectangle; cut into 1-1/2-in.-wide strips. Arrange strips over filling, sealing ends to bottom crust. If desired, brush crust with egg wash; sprinkle with additional sugar or coarse sugar., Bake on lowest oven rack 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
