Cranberry and apple pie

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. A quick and one of the successful ones can be called a shortbread dough for such a pie. In a deep bowl, put the softened and diced butter. It can be replaced with margarine as a cheaper product, such a replacement does not particularly affect the taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   To make the dough taste more tender and soft, add sour cream, I used 20% of the product.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sugar and a pinch of salt to balance the taste.

4. Step 4:

   

   Mix the ingredients until smooth.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add sifted wheat flour and soda, slaked with table vinegar, you can use ready-made baking powder, a pinch of vanilla to create a pleasant aroma.

6. Step 6:

   

   Knead elastic and smooth dough, you do not need to knead the shortbread dough with your hands for a long time, otherwise it will be tight, and the products from it will be hard. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

8. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is "resting", we will prepare the filling for the pie. Cranberries have a sour taste, so that the filling as a whole is moderately sour, you need to add apples of sweet varieties. If the apples have a hard skin, then it is better to remove it, cut out the seed box. Cut the apple pulp into small pieces or slices.

9. Step 8:

   

   We take the "rested" dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two parts, roll out a larger piece of dough into a layer about 0.5 cm thick, according to the size of the cake pan. Grease the baking dish with butter, spread the dough into it, forming small sides.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spread the cooked apples and washed, dried cranberries on the dough (frozen berries can be used). Sprinkle cranberries with sugar on top.

11. Step 10:

    

    From the remaining dough we make a grid for decorating the pie, if desired, the pie can be decorated in a different way. To make the pie look nice and ruddy, it should be mono-greased with beaten egg yolk on top. We send the cake billet into the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 30 minutes, the baking time depends on the operation of the oven and the size of the mold, the juiciness of the filling.

12. Step 11:

    

    The pie should be lightly browned on top. Bon appetit!
