Apple Cranberry Walnut Lattice Pie
Apple Cranberry Walnut Lattice Pie
with Magpie Dough for Flaky Piecrust
Prep Time
75 minutes prep, 8 hour chill time for crust
Number of Servings
1 (9 inch) pie, serves 10
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Magpie Dough for Flaky Piecrust, chilled overnight
- 2 lb sweet-tart apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and sliced [q:1/4]-inch thick
- 4 oz fresh cranberries
- 2 tsp freshly grated orange zest
- 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
- [q:3/4] cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- [q:1/2] tsp ground cinnamon
- [q:1/8] tsp fine salt
- [q:1/2] cup walnut pieces, toasted and finely chopped
- 1 large egg yolk
Directions
- Roll and pan dough for bottom crust as directed in the pie crust recipe. Roll and cut six 2-inch-wide lattice strips for lattice top from second disk of dough and place strips on a baking sheet. Transfer pan with crust and baking sheet with strips to refrigerator and chill dough while you make filling.
- Preheat oven to 400° with a rack in the center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss apples and cranberries with orange zest and orange juice. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and walnuts. Sprinkle sugar mixture over fruit and toss to coat fruit and moisten sugar and cornstarch so that no dry white streaks remain.
- Retrieve prepared bottom crust from refrigerator, set pan on parchment-lined baking sheet and evenly layer apples into pie shell with your hands, keeping top of filling flat and level (not peaked). Moisten the top edge of shell with any fruit juices remaining in the bowl.
- Fetch dough strips from fridge to weave lattice top for pie:
- Begin by laying 3 strips vertically across filling. Fold back two outer strips halfway and add dough strip horizontally across center of pie so that it crosses flat strip.
- Swap folded and unfolded vertical strips and add a second horizontal strip across flat strips. Repeat once more with remaining strip to complete lattice.
- Pinch two edges of dough together, roll outward and under to form a ledge, and tuck edge inside lip of pie pan. Crimp edge all the way around.
- Whisk egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Lightly brush lattice with egg wash.
- Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake pie 25 minutes at 400°. Lower oven temperature to 350°, rotate baking sheet, and bake 25 to 30 minutes more, or until lattice is golden and fruit is tender (tip of a small knife can easily be inserted into fruit through spaces in lattice) and juices are bubbling up through lattice. Tent top with foil if crust starts to over-brown.
- Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let pie cool and set uncovered, at room temperature, overnight (or up to 3 days) before slicing and serving. Serve at room temperature, or rewarmed in a 425° oven

Magpie Dough for Flaky Piecrust
Magpie Dough for Flaky Piecrust
Prep Time
35 minutes prep, 8 hours chill
Ingredients
- [q:2 1/2] cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp fine salt
- [q:3/4] cup cold unsalted butter, cut into [q:1/4] inch cubes and frozen
- [q:1/4] cup vegetable shortening, preferably in baking stick form, frozen, cut into [q:1/4] inch pieces, and put back in freezer
- [q:1/2] cup plus 1 Tbsp ice-cold water
Directions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse machine 3 times to blend. Scatter frozen butter cubes over flour mixture. Pulse machine 5 to 7 times, holding each pulse for 5 full seconds, to cut all of butter into pea-size pieces. Scatter pieces of frozen shortening over flour-and-butter mixture. Pulse machine 4 more 1-second pulses to blend shortening with flour. Mixture will resemble coarse cornmeal, but will be a bit more floury and riddled with pale butter bits (no pure-white shortening should be visible).
- Turn mixture out into a large mixing bowl, and make a small well in center. If you find a few butter clumps that are closer to marble size than pea size (about [q:1/4] inch in diameter), carefully pick them out and give them a quick smoosh with your fingers. Pour cold water into well. Use a curved bowl scraper to lightly scoop flour mixture up and over water, covering water to help get absorption started. Continue mixing by scraping flour up from sides and bottom of bowl into center, rotating bowl as you mix, and occasionally pausing to clean off scraper with your finger or side of bowl, until mixture begins to gather into clumps but is still very crumbly. (If you are working in very dry conditions and ingredients remain very floury and refuse to clump together at this stage, add another tablespoon of ice-cold water.)
- Lightly gather clumps with your fingers and use your palm to fold over and press dough a few times. Don’t knead! Just give dough a few quick squishes until it just begins to come together into a single large mass. It will be a raggedy wad (moist but not damp) that barely holds together; this is exactly as it should be—all it needs is a good night’s rest in the fridge.
- Divide dough into 2 equal portions (one for the pie shell and the other for the lattice top). Gently shape each portion into a flat disk [q:1 1/2] to 2 inches thick, and wrap each tightly with plastic wrap. At this stage, the wrapped dough can be put in a freezer bag and frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before rolling.
- To roll out crust, lightly flour work surface and rolling pin. Remove chilled disk of dough from fridge, unwrap it and set it on floured work surface. Roll dough out to a 13-inch circle with an even thickness of [q:1/4] inch.
- Transfer dough to pie pan. If desired, flute edges of dough. Transfer crust to fridge to chill while you make pie filling. Follow instructions in pie recipe for making lattice top. Alternatively, at this point crust can be covered tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days or double-wrapped and frozen for up to 2 months (defrost overnight in fridge before filling and baking, or at room temperature for 30 minutes).

- Retrieve dough from refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll dough out to [q:1/8] to [q:1/4] inch thick. Using pizza cutter, slice dough into [q:1/2] inch strips

- Weave pie crust strips over the top of each apple.
- Sprinkle tops with sugar.
- Add water to the bottom of a 12 by 8 pan – just enough to barely cover the bottom. Place apples in pan and cover with foil.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, covered.
- Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
