Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 Pie crust depends on how thin you roll the dough
  • 2 cups Peeled and chopped apples 2-4 apples depending on size
  • 1 cup Fresh cranberries
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 egg
  • coarse sugar to drizzle

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F
  2. Peel and chop apples. Place into a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Add cranberries to the bowl.
  4. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl and mix well to ensure all of the fruit is coated.
  5. Roll out the pie crust and cut as many circles as you can. Take the extra crust and roll it into a ball and then roll out flat with your rolling pin and cut more circles. Repeat until you run out of dough to make thick enough circles.
  6. Fill a crust circle with filling. About 1-2 spoonfuls in the center should do the trick. Take another crust circle and place it on top, pressing the edges together well to seal the filling in. Then, cut 4 incisions in the top of the crust for venting.
  7. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with either a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
  8. Whisk the egg and brush the pies with the egg. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the pies.
  9. Bake at 400° F for about 20 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
