Cranberry Apple Pie
- 1 pastry for double-crust deep dish pie
- 1 cup corn flakes, lightly crushed
- 12 cup raisins
- 1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries
- 14 cup apple cider
- 14 cup cranberry liqueur
- 1 12 cups sugar
- 4 12 tablespoons cornstarch
- 12 teaspoon ground mace
- 6 cups tart apples, peeled & sliced
- 12 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Prepare your favorite pie pastry, enough for a 2-crust, deep dish pie, then form into 2 balls, one slightly smaller.
- Wrap the smaller ball in wax paper & chill.
- Roll out the larger ball & line a 9.5" deep dish pie plate, leaving a 3/4" overhang.
- Sprinkle crushed corn flakes into the bottom of the pie shell, then put the plate in the refrigerator to chill.
- In a saucepan combine raisins, berries, cider & liqueur.
- Cook & stir 5-8 minutes until berry skins pop.
- Preheat over to 425 degrees F & make sure that 2 of the racks are in the 2nd & 3rd positions from the bottom.
- Combine sugar, cornstarch & mace, then stir this mixture into the hot cranberry mixture.
- Cook quickly, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens & bubbles.
- Remove from heat & stir in apples.
- Set aside to cool.
- Roll out rest of pie pastry to make an 11" circle, then cut it into 1/2" wide strips.
- Spoon the cooled cranberry/apple mixture into the chilled pastry lined plate & dot with butter.
- Weave pastry strips on top of the filling to make a lattice crust, then flute edge to stand up high.
- Cover edge with foil or a pie 'edge liner' shiny side up, to prevent over browning.
- Bake 20 minutes on the lower rack, then move to the upper rack & bake another 10 minutes.
- Remove the edge liner & bake another 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating.
