Reviews
This continues to be my go-to apple pie recipe. And as an apple desert guy, that’s saying something. Consistently excellent and a breeze to make. Make this recipe – you won’t be disappointed. Beeper just went off…taking mine out of the oven now. Yum
Put the cranberries on the bottom and then add the apples/sugar/etc. Also I used 1 cup sugar. Pie was perfect mix of sweet and tart.
Big hit with the family! Perfect blend of sweet with tart!
I used 1cup of cranberries and 1 cup of sugar and 1 1/2 TBSP cornstarch. I precooked the 5 apples and cranberries in saucepan with sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon before putting into pie shell. Pie was perfect! Not mushy or too dry.
Delicious with dried cranberries and crumb topping. Use less sugar with dried cranberries.
Extremely sour, even after I doubled the sugar. How I fixed it: Put in 3/4c white sugar as called for, then add 1/2c brown sugar to the dry mixture, meanwhile combine the apples and cranberries and add another cup of brown sugar and let it sit a few minutes, then continue with the recipe. (Yes, that’s triple the sugar – still tart but not sour). Next time I’ll try chopping the cranberries and letting them sit with the sugar.
This was yummy! FYI, 4 cups of sliced apples is about 700 grams. (Might be easier to weigh out than to use a measuring cup.) I mixed all filling ingredients together before putting in the crust. Next time I’ll add 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp cloves.
I made it per the directions, with the cranberries layered on top of the apples – turned out wonderful, and guests asked for the recipe. I think it adds interest, as each bite has a slightly different mix of apples and cranberries. My apples were more sweet than tart, so I reduced the sugar just a little, and added a tiny sprinkle of amaretto on the berries. It was a great pie, and looked beautiful- will make again!
Totally awesome pie!
I used granny smith apples and frozen cranberries. I increased the cornstarch to 1 1/2 TBSP. I was concerned that the pie might be a bit too tart based on other reviews, so I increased the sugar to 1 cup. I followed other’s suggestions and tossed everything except the butter together in a bowl and then added it to the pie shell. The pie turned out perfect. The consistency was spot on with the increased cornstarch. The pie had a nice balance of sweet and tart, with just the right amount of tartness. I will make this pie again
The only thing I changed was mixing the apples and cranberries with the sugar mixture first before putting it in the crust. I also cut up the cranberries. The pie wasn’t too wet, it came out good but there were not enough apples for my liking. I used a 9.5″ glass pie plate and store bought crust but the pie top was flat instead of rounded and the apple flavor was completely lost, it just tasted like cranberry sauce pie. I think it needs 3-4 more apples.
I make this every year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas (it’s in the oven as we speak). My sister who HATES pie devours this. I’ve made it in the summer as well, substituting frozen raspberries for the cranberries, and my husband loves that version. The only things I do differently from the recipe is I double the butter, and then I do an egg wash on the top crust, and add sugar sprinkles (the latter so my dad would stop insisting on buying an apple pie from Costco because he wanted the sugar crystal crunch on top).
Very good. I left the top crust off and sprinkled with raw sugar about half way through the cooking time. Then drizzled a little balsamic vinegar glaze over the top. Will make this one again!
I followed recipe exactly as it was written. I only read the comments after putting the pie in oven and thought I should have mixed the sugar etc.. into the apples but it still came out amazing! No leftover pie! Very fast and simple to make. Definitely a keeper!
Everyone loved this Christmas dinner pie. My modifications involved pre-cooking the sugar, apples and cranberries in a saucepan for a few minutes until the apples are softened before placing them in the pie shell.
Added 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg inside Generously sprinkled cinnamon/ sugar on top before placing in the oven I made two pies one for the family gathering of 25 and one for myself. I left the party early to take the seniors (90 and up) home and the pie was half gone but those who ate a piece were suggesting others should try it. My personal pie was gone in 2 days.
No I made it the way it was written and it was perfect and easy. I will definitely make this one again.
I soaked some dried cranberries in liqueur for 24 hours and added them to the filling. Also added a tsp. of nutmeg and cloves. It was outstanding.
My first pie attempt and everyone loved it. Soaked craisins in rum to substitute for fresh cranberries – makes it decadent,
It was just too tart. The apples tasted great but the addition of the cranberries was too much. I might try again but with less cranberries and more apples.
This is delicious!
