🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups Fresh cranberries
• 2 cups Wild blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Prepared pie crusts (top and bottom)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, wild blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated.

3. Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

4. Pour the cranberry and blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.

5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top of the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust lightly with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.

7. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then transfer it to the preheated oven.

8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

9. 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.

10. Slice and serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
