    I started with my easy pie crust recipe and used granny smith apples along with frozen cranberries. But if you have fresh cranberries, go ahead and use them. The bake time is the same. While my son loves this pie my daughter prefers the peanut butter pie. At Thanksgiving, they get both!

    🥧 Pie Crust Rolling Tips:

    • When rolling out your pie dough, remember that flour is your friend and to take your time. Rolling out pie dough is not a race.
    • To ensure your bottom pie crust is large enough to fill the pie plate, place the pie plate on top of the rolled out crust. If the dough extends a few inches beyond the dish, you are good to go.

    👩‍🍳 Chef Tip:

    Bake the pie, cool completely, wrap in several layers of plastic wrap, and freeze. Allow the pie to thaw in the refrigerator and then come to room temperature before slicing to serve.

    ❄️ Storage Tips

    Cover the cut pie with plastic wrap or foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Can this be made ahead?

    The pie dough can also be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to wrap it well in several layers of plastic wrap and then allow the dough to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
