Apple Cranberry Streusel Pie

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

This pie was absolutely perfect!

My girlfriends and I had lunch at a local restaurant a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, and we had a cranberry apple streusel pie that we all vowed to recreate for our individual Thanksgiving separations.

In comes, this recipe. The only tweaks I made were:

1) I made my own pie crust- I used Alton Brown’s food processor recipe. I would probably be stingier with the water next time, but everyone raved about the taste and the texture.

2) I used a mandoline to slice the apples after they were peeled. A corer would have served me well here, but my method worked. I used 1/3 gala apples, and 2/3 green granny smith. Once I had uniform slices, I laid them carefully in the pie pan in an even layer, with a slight bump in the middle.

3) I didn’t measure the fresh cranberries I used, but I squeezed as many on top of the apples as I possibly could, and then finished with the streusel topping.

An all around fantastic recipe! Thanks so much!
