Tick the ingredients as you go

• Homemade pie crust, enough for a bottom crust and a top crust
• 3 large apples, cored, peeled, and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 6-7 cups, or 750-875g)
• 1 1/2 cups (187g) cranberries, fresh or frozen
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp (14g) cornstarch
• 1 tsp fresh orange zest
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 Tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• Egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tbsp (15ml) milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare and chill your pie dough.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, stir together the apples, cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Let it sit while the oven heats.

3. 3

   Heat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

4. 4

   On a floured surface, roll one disc of chilled dough into a 12-inch round, rotating it a quarter turn every few rolls. Ease it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon in the filling, leaving behind any liquid at the bottom of the bowl, and dot the cubes of butter over the top. Keep it in the fridge while you prepare the top crust.

   
6. 5

   Roll the second disc into a 12-inch round and cut it into strips 1 to 2 inches wide. Weave the strips over the filling in a lattice, pressing the ends into the bottom crust, then trim and crimp the edge. (Instead of a lattice, you can lay a full round on top, cut a few vents, and crimp, or use a crumble topping.)

   
7. 6

   Brush the top lightly with egg wash.

8. 7

   Set the pie on a large baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350°F (177°C) and bake 30-35 minutes longer. After the first 20 minutes, cover the edges with a pie crust shield so they don't over-brown.

9. 8

   Let the pie cool at room temperature for 3 hours so the filling can set before serving.
