Mom's Harvest Apple Pie
- 3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pie crust dough, enough for top and bottom (from your own favorite recipe)
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- Sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, orange zest, cranberries, raisins, walnuts, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well.
- Roll out the bottom dough and place it into a 9-inch pan, leaving 1-inch of pie dough hanging over.
- Pour the pie filling into the crust.
- Roll out the top dough and cut it with a scalloped pastry wheel into 15 strips.
- Gently twist the strips 2 or 3 times, beginning with the longest ones, and place them on top of the pie, working outward and in various angles.
- Gently fold the bottom crust up over the edge of the pie and flute the edges with your fingertips.
- With a pastry brush, gently brush the half-and-half over the entire top crust and edges and then sprinkle generously with sugar.
- Bake until apples are cooked, about 45 to 50 minutes.
- (You can check the apples with a fork to make sure they are tender).
- Remove to a rack to cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
