Quick Chicken Stir-Fry

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix together the pink and Granny Smith apples, cranberries, brown sugar, flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until all the fruit is nicely coated.

Step 2

Roll out half of your dough and fit it into your pie dish. Pour the apple mixture in, then dot the top with small pieces of butter. Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together, then tuck and crimp them to create a neat border. Don’t forget to cut a few slits on top to let the steam escape.

Step 3

Place the pie on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust turns a beautiful golden brown. Once it’s done, move the pie to a wire rack and let it cool before serving.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. To keep the crust crisp, reheat slices in a warm oven instead of the microwave. You can also freeze the pie for up to two months; thaw in the fridge before reheating.
