Description
A delightful Christmas Pie filled with cranberries and apples, perfect for the festive season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 cup chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the cranberries, chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
- Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pan and fill with the cranberry-apple mixture.
- Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a festive touch, add a tablespoon of orange zest to the filling for extra flavor.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert experience.
