Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 15

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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400° F
  • Peel and chop apples. Place into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add cranberries to the bowl.
  • Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl and mix well to ensure all of the fruit is coated.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with either a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Whisk the egg and brush the pies with the egg. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the pies.
  • Bake at 400° F for about 20 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
