When autumn comes around each year, I start to think of apples. And when I start to think of apples, I think of pie. Wonderfully buttery, flaky pie crust filled with apples. I love cinnamon-led spice blends, but I am always willing to try any spice combination in hopes of finding something that can one-up the traditional “Apple Pie Spice” blend that you can buy in the supermarket already made. But maybe more than the filling, I love the crust. Any pie that goes beyond the ordinary to make the crust a work of art, like this week’s Apple-Cranberry Pie with Lattice Crust by food blogger Vallery Lomas, is tops in my book. Vallery’s lattice-work combines braiding with variable width strips of dough, and is crowned with leaves, all of which hide a seasonal apple-cranberry filling that’s perfect for the holiday season! —Kristina
Why Vallery loves this pie: I’m a pie person, and apple pie is hands down my favorite, go-to pie. The reason I love apple pie so much is simple: the sweet-tartness of the apples paired with warm holiday spices is nostalgic and comforting. It gives me all of the holiday feels! I decided to elevate my apple pie game with this pie by adding cranberries. The cranberries in the filling add the perfect holiday flair while adding pizzazz (and color!) to the pie. And the best part about it is you can make it in advance!
