Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Pie Crust for 4 single-crust pies. (A double batch of All-Butter Pie Crust is my preference.)
  • 3 pounds assorted baking apples, peeled and sliced thin (about 10 apples)
  • 2 cups (8-ounces) fresh cranberries, roughly chopped (leave some whole)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into very small cubes
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the pie crust. Divide dough in half. Roll out one half of the dough in a large rectangle large enough to cover the bottom of the baking sheet (use more pie dough as needed). Trim excess dough and crimp the edges of the crust. Chill crust in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Roll out remaining pie dough and cut out leaves or other desired shape using a cookie cutter or a paring knife. (You could also cut dough into strips and do a lattice crust.)
  4. Place shaped crust pieces on a separate baking sheet in the refrigerator.
  5. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  6. In a large bowl, toss together the cranberries, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Set aside.
  7. Peel and slice apples.
  8. Arrange sliced apples in even layers on the chilled crust.
  9. Spread cranberry/sugar mixture evenly over top of the apples. Sprinkle cubes of butter on top of filling.
  10. Remove crust shapes from refrigerator. Brush with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
  11. Arrange crust shapes evenly around edges and throughout center of pie.
  12. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes, then rotate pan and lower the heat to 375 degrees F for 45 more minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. (If crust is browning too quickly, lay a sheet of aluminum foil on top for the remainder of the baking time.)
  13. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
