Cranberry Apple Pie Recipe

Apple pie is one of my all-time favorite pies, and to be honest, I didn’t think it could get any better. That’s where cranberries come in! I LOVE cranberries because they add such a mouthwatering tart flavor to whatever you’re making. They’re also great for using in so many different holiday desserts! (Hello cranberry orange cheesecake!) But really, there’s a reason that cran-apple is a thing. It’s a holy combination! This cranberry apple pie is everything you could want from a holiday dessert. It’s sweet, tart, and juicy all inside a buttery, golden crust! Trust me, it’s going to be a hit at the dinner table. Serve it as-is or a la mode! In my opinion, pie is always better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients for Cranberry Apple Pie

Here’s everything you need to make this gorgeous pie! It’s one of my favorites to make because it tastes just as good as it looks. You’re going to love it! Note: all measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

Double Crust Pie Crust: You technically need 2 crusts, one for the bottom and one for the lattice on top. For the holidays, I always like to make my crust from scratch because it just tastes so much better! It’s easy, too! Find my full recipe here.Apples: I used Granny Smith here to really bring out the tart flavor of the pie, but you can use your favorite variety! If you like a sweeter apple, go for Gala or Honeycrisp.Cranberries: I used fresh cranberries, but frozen cranberries work as well! Fresh cranberries can sometimes be tricky to find.Orange Zest: A must-add for holiday desserts! I love the pop of citrus flavor it gives the cranberry apple pie.Sugar: Regular white sugar works great to sweeten up the filling.All-Purpose Flour and Cornstarch: You’ve got to add both because they help the fruit filling solidify.Spices: It wouldn’t be a holiday dessert without the spice, now would it? Time to break out the spice rack! Here I used a blend of allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and ginger for that classic fall flavor. It complements the apple and cranberry so well!

Let’s Make Pie!

Homemade pies can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never made one before! Follow these quick and easy steps and you’ll be baking like a pro. This cranberry apple pie is too good! You’ve got to give it a try this holiday season.

Thaw and Drain Cranberries: If you are using frozen cranberries, allow them to thaw to room temperature and remove any excess juice before mixing with the apples and orange zest.Make a Pie Crust Shield: If you don’t have a pie crust shield, you can fashion one using tin foil, it just needs to cover the edges and wrap around the pie to prevent the edges from getting too dark,Don’t Let Filling Get Too Thick: Filling should thicken up quite a bit while cooking, but remember it will completely set and thicken once the pie is cooled so don’t let it get too thick in the pot.

At Room Temperature: Store tightly covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 2 days.In the Refrigerator: Cranberry apple pie will last for about 5 days covered in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container.
