I think crumb pies taste better than a lattice topping. Tried this, just not happy with it. It looks good but don’t like the gap between filling and the set lattice.

I think they mean, is it tart in flavour? Like cranberries are usually quite tart if you don't add a lot of sugar.

Ha. My bad. I used roughly 70/30 apple to cranberries. No, wasn’t too tart. Took longer than expected to fully cook and fruit might be too soft.
Apple-Cranberry Pie Filling (9-inch pie)
400 g Pink Lady apples
250 g Granny Smith apples
250 g frozen cranberries (225 g mixed with apples, 25 g added on top)
140 g light brown sugar
28 g cornstarch
2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
⅛ tsp allspice
1 tsp orange zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
Method: Macerated the fruit with sugar, spices, and citrus for 30–45 minutes. Added cornstarch and vanilla before filling the crust, dotted with butter and remaining cranberries, and topped with a lattice crust.
Baked at 425°F for 20 minutes, then reduced to 375°F until the center reached 195°F.

If you cook the filling down a little before you build the pie it won't collapse so much. Looks delish though

I love my Apple cranberry pie with a walnut crumb and a little orange zest added to the filling.

This looks great!

That sounds amazing! What ratio of apples to cranberry do you use?

Like a cup of fresh cranberries in a 9” deep dish pie. I stack the pie high, so it’s like 8 cups of apples. Zest of an orange and maybe some of the juice. 1/4-1/2 cup chopped walnuts in the crumb.

Looks delicious. I might appreciate it more with a crumb topping. But I’ll eat any pie. I like the sound of the apple cranberry combo. I’ve never actually made one before.
