Ingredients

Instructions

  • Flip the first sheet of the dough into your pie pan and gently work it into the shape of the pan. Take care not to press the dough in as it will stick to the pan after baking. If you're planning a decorative crust for the edge, leave an overhang of about ½", otherwise trim the dough to the edge of the pie plate. Use the leftover scraps of dough to patch any holes or tears that may have occurred.
    1 Double Gluten Free Pie Crust
  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C)
  • In a large bowl combine the apples, cranberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, salt and vanilla. Stir until the fruit is well coated with the sugar and spices.
    4 Cup Apples, 1 ½ Cup Cranberries, 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice, ½ Cup Sugar, 3 Tablespoon Cornstarch, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Ginger, ¼ teaspoon Salt, 2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • Pour the pie filling into the pie pan.
  • Take your second rolled sheet and cut it into strips for lattice. Place the strips across the top of the pie and then add the alternating strips. See the text above for more detailed lattice instructions.
  • Crack your egg into a small bowl and beat until smooth. Add about 1 tablespoon water and ⅛ teaspoon of salt. Using a pastry brush, stick the edges of your lattice to the bottom crust with a little of the egg wash. Once all of the edges are stuck down, trim the lattice to the edge of the pie pan. Crimp the crust into your favorite design.
    1 Egg wash
  • Brush the top of the pie crust all over with the remaining egg wash (see note below for vegan egg wash). Sprinkle with sanding sugar (optional)
    Turbinado Sugar
  • Place in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to baking. This will keep any crust designs from melting and losing shape.
  • Place the prepared pie on a baking sheet and bake on the lowest rack of your oven. Bake for 60 minutes. If the top crust begins to brown too much, you can cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Remove baked pie from oven and cool about 3 hours before slicing.

Notes
