How did it get this late in the year guys?
I don’t know, but I’m guessing those of you celebrating a holiday tomorrow and probably even many of you that aren’t, are busy doing lots of baking now that the holiday season is in full swing. This year has been quite a whirlwind for me but I’m really enjoying that things seem to be settling down a little bit for the end of it.
I don’t typically bake that many pies throughout the year but I think there’s some unspoken law that says when the holidays roll around at least one or two pies are mandatory. Oh, and also when planning the dessert menu for Thanksgiving or Christmas a pie or two is almost always on the top of the list as nonnegotiable.
So as strange as it is after so many years of baking for a blog, I’ve never used fresh cranberries before. Mostly it’s because when I started blogging in Chile I didn’t have them available to me, but it’s also because I generally prefer craisins for using in recipes just because they are sweet and taste good on their own so it’s a bit easier to get the right balance of sweet and tart.
Some of my family prefer their pie on the sweeter side rather than tart so I will note that using craisins in place of the fresh cranberries is totally an option (but about half the amount), especially if you aren’t a big fan of the tartness in your pie. It really will just depend on your personal preference. Another thing I like to do when making fruit pies like this is to precook the filling before assembling the final pie for baking. I know many recipes will call for simply adding the fruit into the crust fresh, but I just feel like you get a better finished product and can have a little more control over it when you start with partially cooked fruit.
Alright, so I hope your baking is going well and I’d love to know what you think if you decide to try this. Be sure to let me know in the comments what you think and if you share a picture on your socials be sure to tag me so I can share it!

Thank you so much @amsakhan

I'm so glad you like it @kingru!
I like your method of weaving the crust. Allows more moisture to escape, leaving a more flaky crust.
You're right, it's very good that way. Thanks @gikitiki
healthy food, good food.
Oh, thanks @sangeeta!
This looks like a piece of an art, can i have some? Portal it to Africa please?

Love apple pie...how was it? wont the cranberies make it sour? Even when partially cooked?
This i need to try☺
It definitely is a tart flavor when you use fresh, but some of my family likes that. Although I added a note in the recipe to use craisins if you like it sweeter. Thanks for your constant support and sweet comments @immarojas! Happy Holidays!
Always, keep them coming. Happy holidays!

Looking so yummy as well as it's perfect to me because there is not any kind of meat....😋😋
I am so glad you liked it @coolbuddy, thanks
HAHA! That is sooo true. I rarely ever make pie, but have to make at least one for Thanksgiving.
This looks so lovely. I've always enjoyed the sugar sparkle/crunch on top of a lattice pie... but haven't attempted it myself. I bet some turbinado sugar would be fantastic on there! Hubby is not a fan of tart/sour things, but I'm sure he'd be on board with craisins. Also, I bet pre-cooking the filling would cut down on the excess juices, and allow the bottom crust to stay crisp. Plus, you wouldn't have to worry about it cooking down and having a big hollow gap under the top crust. (I'm looking at you, mom. lol)
As always, fantastic commenting by @offbeatbroad. I am thrilled you found some helpful tips in my post. I look forward to seeing some of your future creations. So sorry it took me 6 days to get back to you, I've been so busy!
Hi my dear! My mouth watering again with this apple pie! It looks so delicious and yummy! I love it! And the cranberry is the first time i hear about it! I hope to find it here.
Hi @creativewoman, I totally missed this comment, so sorry. Ah, cranberry, yes, it's not a world wide food for sure. It's very popular in the North East of the USA. Chile is a big grower of cranberries, but they do not consume it or at least very little. Almost all of it is exported. Now that we are back in the USA, we have easy access to it. Have a great day!!
You should be proud of your achievements this year. This is a huge work, and it is not only important and useful for us, but also very beautiful!
You are always so supportive @tanata, thanks so much!!
I must tell my wife, this looks delicious she might be able to do this. She is bigbear and likes writing stories but sure she will try this for me.
Thanks so much for commenting @methusalem. I am so sorry it took me 6 days to get back to you. I hope she does give it a try and a post about it would be awesome. Have a great day!!

Using craisons .... great idea!! That would help sweeten up the fruit. I usually make an apple/cranberry crisp and have never tried a pie - maybe I will for Christmas. I love this combination.
Also, precooking the fruit - another idea I've never thought of....nothing worse than baking an apple pie only to have some crunchy bits left.
Thanks for the tips!
I am thrilled you found this post helpful. Have you made a post about your apple crisp? If not, you totally should. If you do, please get in touch with me so I can help you promote it. And, so sorry it took me 6 days to get back to you. I'm just beyond busy!
Sure, I'll let you know when I make it....it has the best shortbread crust ever. Thanks for helping!
Wow i think it's very yummy food
Thanks @sanjim

I am a sucker for holiday recipes! I know, how is it almost December? I think I work too much, time just flies.
Do you make pumpkin pie too?
I am such a loser, I totally missed this comment somehow. I do make a pumpkin pie, but I haven't perfected it yet. I'm working on it, however.
yes, time does fly buy, it's crazy
Thank you for sharing! This pie looks amazing!! I usually make apple pies every year but I may have to try this new recipe! I love the design too! I always have a little trouble with my top crust! :)
I hope you give it a try @lorisam. I encourage you to make a post of your pie that you usually make or an adaptation of this recipe. Be sure to let me know

No problem my dear. I appreciate your response.
