Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 3 cups diced apples mix of sweet and tart varieties
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crust

  • 1 large beaten egg for egg wash

  • floured surface

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cranberries, diced apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice, and stir gently.
  3. Roll out one pie crust on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish and press it into the dish.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, mounding it slightly in the center.
  5. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits into the top crust for steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
  8. Allow the pie to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
