# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine cranberries, diced apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir until ingredients are evenly mixed.

Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
03 -
Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared bottom crust.
04 -
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp edges securely to seal the pie.
05 -
Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the surface with beaten egg to achieve a glossy, golden finish.
06 -
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
07 -
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use firm apples such as Granny Smith for optimal texture. If using frozen cranberries, thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing. Serve with vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
