# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 2 cups fresh cranberries
02 - 3 cups diced apples (preferably Granny Smith)

→ Sweeteners & Thickeners

03 - 1 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 cup cornstarch

→ Spices & Flavorings

05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

→ Finishing

09 - 1 large egg (for egg wash)

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F.
02 - Combine cranberries, diced apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly incorporated.
03 - Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is evenly placed.
04 - Pour the prepared fruit filling into the crust-lined dish.
05 - Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges to secure the filling.
06 - Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the surface with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
08 - Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use firm apples such as Granny Smith for optimal texture.
02 - If using frozen cranberries, thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent excess moisture.
03 - Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
