Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Premade pie crusts (top and bottom)
- 4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Frozen sweet cherries, thawed and halved
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 piece Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving the edges overhanging slightly. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, dried cranberries, and thawed cherries.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit and toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the filling with small chunks of unsalted butter and drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the pie. Trim any excess edges, then crimp or flute the edges to seal the top and bottom crusts together.
Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake it in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
Slice and serve your Caramel Apple Cran Cherry Pie as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect finishing touch!
