Welcome back to What's Cookin' with Mambo! This pie never goes out of season!
Mambo Sam’s Cranberry Apple Pie Ingredients Crust: Use your favorite crust recipe OR there is no shame in your game if you use a store bought refrigerator crust. It saves time and it’s delicious especially if you brush it with a little bit of egg and sugar before you bake the pie! Don’t sweat this and let it stop you from making a pie! Pie is supposed to be fun, go buy that crust if you don’t know how to make one or don’t want to. You are a pie warrior!
Filling: 6 cups sliced apples – go crazy – use three different types of your favorites 1 cup dried cranberries ¾ cup white cane sugar 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon ground cardamom 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon of water
Steps: Heat oven to 425°F. Place bottom crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom. In a big bowl, mix all your filling ingredients. I like to let them set a few minutes to allow the natural juices to come together. Carefully pour into your pie plate. Top with your choice of second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal then press together by fluting with a fork or with your fingers. Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
Enjoy! |
