Double-Crust Cranberry Apple Pie

PASTRY	FILLING
3 1⁄2 cups all purpose flour	6-7 tart Granny Smith apples
2 teaspoons salt	1 tangerine or orange
1 Tablespoon sugar	3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes	3 cups fresh cranberries
6 ounces ice cold water with a dash of cider	11⁄4 cup sugar
vinegar (this prevents the gluten	1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
from developing in the flour)	1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
	1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
	1 Tablespoon sugar

FOR PIE DOUGH

Combine flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in cubes of butter until small pieces form (about the size of a pea). Drizzle in cold water and continue to mix until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface to form (2) 10" circles. Place one of the circles in the bottom of a pie dish. Set the other one aside.

FOR FILLING

Peel, core and slice apples in 1⁄2" slices. Using a zester, peel the skin from the tangerine. Fine chop the zest, then juice the tangerine. Set aside. In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Lightly sauté the apples. Pick through the cranberries to make sure all stems and soft cranberries have been discarded. Add cranberries to sauté pan and cook until they begin to pop. Add tangerine zest and juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Adjust oven rack to position 2. In Dacor Guide, select Double Crusted Fruit Pies. Let mixture cool slightly, then pour into prepared pie dish. Add top crust. Seal the edges together, then cut a few slits into the top crust to vent. Sprinkle remaining sugar on top of the pie. Place pie on a cookie sheet and place in oven. Set timer for 45-55 minutes. Bake until golden brown on the top.

After Baking: Let pie cool before slicing. Slice into wedges.

Makes about 8 slices.
