Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (for bottom and top)
- 5 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and thin-sliced
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 2 cups cranberries, picked over
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark seedless raisins
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 large egg white
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- Vanilla ice cream, optional
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place bottom crust in a 10-inch pie pan, and trim edges. Place pie pan on a shallow baking pan to catch any potential drips. Set aside.
Toss apples with lemon juice, then add cranberries, sugar, raisins, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently stir to combine. Mound fruit mixture in the prepared pie pan. Cover with top crust and crimp edges.
Whisk egg white and water together. Brush over the top of the pie. Cover with a loose tent of foil to deter premature browning. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil tent and bake an additional 30 minutes or until apples are tender and pie is browned.
Let pie cool on a rack for 20 minutes and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
