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!
Trinity Pie
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
And I envy anyone that does crafts. I used to do all kinds of needlework, even taught it. But with the kids gone there is n one to use the types of things I made so I got a new hobby. I would love to see some of your projects and will pop by your blog soon! Have a stress free week!
Hey Marilyn! I am glad to see that I am not the only one who doesn’t make homemade pie crusts! lol This looks lovely! My pies are never pretty.
Saw you on Saturday Shuffle!
Melissa
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.
This looks so good Marilyn. And it is also so pretty. TFS
Thank you Clearissa. I was surprised it was image worthy. Most of my pies burn on the edges. LOL. Happy Easter!
I’m going to share this on my facebook page in the next few weeks. I’ll make sure to tag you when I do. Hope all is well and can’t wait to see what you post next!!!

This looks delicious! Made from scratch pie crusts and I don’t get along well, so I use pre-made ones also.
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.
