Mom's Apple Cranberry Pie

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Gently line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts, ensuring it fits snugly against the bottom and sides. Crimp the edges for a decorative finish. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the prepared crust, creating a foundation for the cranberries. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Scatter the fresh cranberries generously over the apples, ensuring an even distribution. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon until well combined. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the cranberries and apples, allowing it to settle into the fruit. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Distribute the chilled butter pieces evenly over the pie filling. This will add richness and help create a golden-brown crust. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully cover the filling with the remaining pie crust. Crimp the edges of both crusts together to seal, and cut several slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pie is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. (45-60 minutes)

Recipe View Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents a soggy crust. (2 hours)
