Double Apple-Cranberry Pie
First up, we’ve got a taste sensation. This double-apple cranberry pie is a serious treat for your taste buds. The secret to this scrumptious pie is the combination of tart cranberries and sweet apples. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 6 cups of sliced, peeled Granny Smith apples
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream
- 1 9-inch pie crust
Once you’ve got all your ingredients ready, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Take your pie crust and use it to line a 9-inch pie pan. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add in the sliced apples, cranberries, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and lemon juice. Mix everything together well and then pour it all into the pie crust.
Use the whipping cream to brush the edges of the pie crust. Place the pie in the oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and let it bake for another 45 minutes or so, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Take the pie out of the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes. Serve it up with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if you’d like.
Caramel-Pecan Apple Pie Recipe
Now, if you’re looking for a pie that’s a little more indulgent, this caramel-pecan apple pie recipe is where it’s at. This pie is chock-full of sweet and buttery flavors, and it’s a great way to use up any leftover pecans you might have lying around. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 6 cups of sliced and peeled Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped pecans
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Take your unbaked pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and caramel sauce together over low heat. Once it’s melted, stir in the chopped pecans. Pour this mixture evenly over the apples in the pie shell. Use a spatula to spread it around and make sure it reaches all the edges.
Place the pie in the oven and let it bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes before slicing into it.
There you have it, folks! Two absolutely delicious apple pies that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Give them a try and let me know what you think.
