I’m still trying to decide if my pie crust looks like fall leaves or tiny hands reaching up out of the pie as if to scream “help me, help me!!!!!!!!”
So I always make apple pie but Carrie’s recipe was a super close second and even though she gets squat shit for giving me a great recipe, I made her pie. Besides, she knows she rocks.
By the way, I’m missing 2 pie dishes, one that was a deep dish. If you have it and read my blog, sneak it over here, leave it on the porch and we’ll pretend this never happened. I had to bake the friggen pie in a cake pan.
Cranberry Apple Pie link. There’s some “info” about crusts and stuff but I didn’t follow the directions.
Shocking.
Part 1:
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
Part 2:
6 apples – peeled, cored and chopped
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups white sugar
6 apples – peeled, cored and chopped
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups white sugar
In a large bowl, combine apples, cranberries, and sugar. Cover, and set aside for about 20 minutes. Mix in tapioca, and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes, until tapioca has absorbed fruit juice. Spread mixture into the partially baked pie shell. Or uncooked pie shell. Whatever.
Part 3:
1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsalted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsalted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter. Work mixture with fingertips until crumbly. Spread mixture over the apple-cranberry filling. Brush exposed pie shell with lightly beaten egg.
(see the leaves/tiny hands?)
Side view is a bit like a bulging volcano…
Place the pie on a cookie sheet to catch drips. Bake 45 to 60 minutes at 375 on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, or until apples are tender when tested with a wooden pick.
So how was it?
My mom made this pie this year instead of me. She made a "super pie" in a rectangle baking pan. It turned out yummy.
