Ingredients
4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 prepared pie crust
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning food preparation.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, sugar, flour, and apple pie spice. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated and distributed.
Pour the fruit mixture into a 10-inch deep dish pie pan, spreading evenly across the bottom.
Lay the prepared pie crust over the top of the fruit filling. Using a sharp knife, cut 3 or 4 small slits in the crust to allow steam to vent during baking.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for approximately 1 hour, until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, then slice and serve warm.
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
Comments
All ingredients are widely available at any Charlotte grocery chain—apples and cranberries are stock items year-round, though fresh cranberries (outside October-December) may require a brief hunt at Harris Teeter's produce section. The stated 80 minutes ignores blind-baking the crust and at least 15 minutes of cooling time, bringing honest prep closer to two hours plus four hours chilling; this is a weekend project, not a weeknight dessert. Cost per slice runs roughly $1.20-$1.50 depending on apple price and whether you use store-brand crust, making it reasonable for ten servings. The deep-dish format and cranberry-apple balance suit a family dessert, but the fussy crust work and overnight sitting mean it rewards planning rather than impulse.
