Are you looking for a fall dessert that tastes great, looks beautiful, and is easy to make? Â Well, sit over here by me, my friend, and let me tell you a little story. About ten years ago, before I was a person who blogs about cooking and crafting and baking, I was not so handy around the kitchen. Â Cooking and baking scared me. Â A lot. That year an edict was handed down from my mother-in-law.
In order to be admitted to Thanksgiving one was required to bring dessert. Â “Any dessert you’d like,” she told me on the phone. Â At this I breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Cookies! Â I will bring homemade, oatmeal raisin cookies.” Â It was the perfect dessert. Â My husband loved them. Â My father-in-law loved them. Â I knew how to make them. Â What could be better? There was a pause on the other end of the phone and then my mother-in-law said, “Any dessert you’d like… as long as it’s a pie.” Oh no. This was a problem.
In my mind, pie came in two categories: embarrassingly easy pies that involved a can opener and a pre-made crust… or scary pies: pies with homemade fillings and flaky, delicate crusts. Pies that involved pie weights. Obviously I was meant for the first kind. Â But I didn’t want to be cherry-pie-filling-in-a-can girl.
What I needed was a pie that required cherry-pie-in-a-can skills but tasted like it had required pie weights and other fancy utensils. So I turned to the big guns: Â my mom. Â Now I should say that my mom can totally pull off a fancy pie. Â But I also knew that somewhere in her arsenal there had to be a pie for me.
Much to my relief there was: this fabulous Cranberry Apple Pie Recipe. Â And today I’m going to share it with you.

Cranberry Apple Pie Recipe
Cranberry Apple Pie Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pie Filling
- 1 premade pie crust
- 3 cups Apples peeled, diced, and cored (I use approximately 4-5 Golden Delicious.)
- 16 oz. can Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
- â…“ cup sugar
For the Crumb Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose Flour
- Âľ cup Sugar
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ cup Butter cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- First you’ll want to wash and slice your apples
- Then remove peeling from slices
- Place apple slices in large bowl, then add Cranberry Sauce and Sugar.
- Spread pie crust out into 9" pan.
- Pour Apple/Cranberry mixture into pie crust, and set aside.
- Now it's time to make the crumb topping!
- Combine Flour, Cinnamon and 3/4 cup Sugar in medium bowl. Stir well.
- Add butter pieces.
- Now it’s time to have a little fun. I’ve tried mixing this topping by using two forks but by far the most effective method has been my hands. So start mushing the butter into the dry ingredients until you've got a nice crumbly topping.
- Then simply sprinkle the topping on the pie.
- Place pie on an old cookie sheet because the juices often run over the side.
- Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until it's done.

Can you freeze this pie ?
Heidi says
Hi Danielle ~ I honestly haven’t tried freezing it, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!
Danielle says
First, let me say that I have made six of these pies since I seen your recipe ! This recipe is DELICIOUS and VERY easy to make.
Second, I did freeze two of them, unbaked. One I had time to thaw a bit, so that was baked as directed.. The other one was baked from frozen, so I baked a 1/2 hr. On a lower temp, then increased temp and baked as directed.
Both of the frozen pies were great!
Cynthia says
Normally I am super intimated with pie recipes. This one sounds like even I can do it! I LOVE tangy & sweet combos. Crumb topping, YUM! Thanks for sharing.
