This pie is a combination of apple, cranberries and walnuts. While this pie is a good choice anytime, I like to make this for religious holidays to keep it as special treat. The combination of fruits and nuts satisfies the craving for a more traditional pie while providing a unique blend of flavors and textures. I like to use pie dough from the dairy aisle, but a made from scratch crust recipe can be found below. My crusts are so awful my family scoops the filling out and leaves the crust behind. Enjoy! Try

Ingredients

  • 1 Two Crust Pie Shell I used one from the dairy case
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 pounds tart cooking apples peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices (5- 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cups cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces
  • Milk
  • Sugar or coarse sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Prepare and roll out Two Crust Pie Shell pastry. Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. In a large bowl combine the apples, cranberries (reserving 1 cranberry for the garnish) and 1/2 cup walnuts. Sprinkle sugar mixture over the fruit. Toss to combine. Spoon mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter.
  • Cut slits in remaining pastry to allow steam to escape. Place pastry on filling. Trim both overhangs to an even 1 inch all the way around. Tuck the crusts under and flute the edges. Lightly brush pastry with a little milk and sprinkle with additional sugar. Cut a slit in center of pastry; place the 1 reserved cranberry in slit. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon walnuts around the cranberry. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil.
  • Place pie plate on middle shelf in oven; place foil-lined baking sheet on lower rack beneath pie. Bake in a 325 degrees F. oven for 1 hour. Remove foil. Bake 30 to 45 minutes more or until fruit is tender, filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack at least 2 hours before serving. Makes 8 servings.

    Hello! Visiting from the Sew It, Cook It, Craft It party and followed, etc.

    This pie looks amazing! I’m more of a Sew it/Craft it person, so I envy anyone who can bake like this. Apples, Walnuts, & Cinnamon? My mouth is watering!

    Thanks for sharing,
    Renee

      Thank you Melissa. In my older recipes I always give the direction to all parts from scratch. But as I get older, if it is good and I can get ready-made eassy and inexpensive, THAT is on my counter. LOL. Happy Easter.

    LOL Marilyn, I can’t believe your pie crust wouldn’t taste good. You are an amazing cook but you did make me feel so much better about my own attempts at trying to make something. Thank you for that

      The good part of this blog is I get to show you only the good stuff. I have so many fast hacks, fails, and casseroles that would never make this blog. Thanks Michelle. Have a great week.

      I love premade crusts and for me they are cheaper too! More times than not I use the premade cheats but don’t tell anyone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and have a great day.

      Thank you for commenting on my post! I need to let you know that your address was picked up in the comment and nothing else was included. I believe what is happening is a bug in Chrome when the site is https. When you use autofill, it inputs name, email, and then you add your url for your blog. But using autofill it adds your home address instead of your comment. This bug works on ANY form you use and not just blog comment forms.
