Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Caramel Apple Cranberry Pie.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C). Grab one of your pie crusts and gently press it into a 9-inch pie plate, saving the other crust for later. This is where the magic begins!
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the lemon juice with cold water. Peel and slice your Granny Smith apples, then toss them into the lemon water to keep them fresh and vibrant while you prepare the filling.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cornstarch until you have a smooth paste. Gradually stir in 2 tablespoons of water, followed by the vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of white sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring this delightful mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
Drain the apples and add them to your sweetened butter mixture along with the dried cranberries. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, just until everything is well combined and slightly softened. Remove from heat and let it cool for a moment.
Step 5
Pour the luscious fruit filling into your prepared pie crust, then cover it with the reserved top crust. Crimp the edges to seal in all that goodness! For a sweet finishing touch, mix 1 tablespoon of white sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the top crust.
Step 6
Bake your pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking until the top crust is golden brown, which should take about 35 to 40 minutes. The aroma will be irresistible!
