Get ready for THE BEST festive Apple Cranberry Pie recipe perfect for fall, thanksgiving and Christmas with fresh cranberries and apples, and a special cider spiced buttery cream filling.

My grandmother has a source for the best free cranberries I’ve ever had. With bags full in my freezer, it was time to get creative. Soon, using my favourite pie recipe ingredients came this amazing apple cranberry pie recipe.

My family will be over the moon this holiday season with a new pie recipe like never before, and so will yours! Because today I’m sharing with you my new favourite festive holiday pie recipe perfect for the holiday season.

This recipe calls for summer preserves like apple butter, apple pie filling and cranberries BUT these ingredients can all be created any time of the year with a few simple ingredients.

What makes this pie special is the cider spiced apple butter and the creamy sweetness of condensed milk for a pie like no other. Let me show you how it’s done!

BEST APPLE CRANBERRY PIE RECIPE

To make the best Apple Cranberry Pie, several things come into play to create a tasty filling and also a flaky crust that’s anything but mushy!

Start by choosing the right apples.

Choose tart apples such as Granny Smith, Gala and Golden Delicious. Use firm apples and avoid overripe fruit. The lower pH value of tart apples reduces the amount of pectin that breaks down, so the apples hold their shape and get less mushy.

Pre cooking apple pie filling (like the recipe you’ll find below) prevents apples from turning mushy when baked. What you get is a sweet apple pie with bits of tart and slightly crisp apples with no more mushy bits.

Also, baking the pie one rung down from the centre of the oven also helps prevent a mushy bottom.

It’s a good idea to let the pie cool for at least two hours before serving and even better when it’s made the day before.

For this recipe you’ll need the following ingredients
