Decorative lattice on cranberry peach pie, sanding sugar, and cranberries

This Cranberry Peach Pie has the sweetness of peaches with a tart burst of cranberries in every bite. 

 

You are going to love how easy the filling is.  A large can of peaches in heavy syrup and fresh tart cranberries simmered with cinnamon spice and finished with a bit of almond extract.  This pie is filled with all of my favorite flavors.  

 

There are beautifully decorated pies all over Instagram and Pinterest.  Once again I have attempted to up my pie game.  If you are a decorative novice like me, you have to ask yourself this question, “How long do I want to spend on one pie?”   If you have a few hours to spare, then this is a fun/stressful way to spend it.  Perhaps someday I will become a pro and I will have better advice to give you.  For now, this is what I know.

  1. Make enough pie crusts for at least three single-crust pies.
  2. Leaf cutouts are the easiest way to start.  I placed several on top of my Pecan Chocolate Pie before I baked it.  That was easy and looks like I actually fussed.
  3. The pie dough must be COLD at all times.  If the dough starts to warm up, place it back into the refrigerator until it is chilled again.
  4. Check Instagram and Pinterest for design ideas.
  5. If you don’t have fall leafcutters, create your own by making a template with cardstock and using that template to cut several leaves or other designs OR come borrow mine.
  6. Don’t stress.  Have fun.

Plan Ahead for Pie Success:

  • Make your pie dough in advance.  Refrigerate or freeze round disks of pie dough for ease on pie prep day.  Check out my Pie Crust 101 tutorial.  The holidays are busy enough.  Having a stock of pie dough made and in the freezer will eliminate some of the stress.
  • Pie crusts can be rolled out and pressed into a pie plate or tart shell, covered with plastic wrap, and frozen for ease.
  • Check your pantry and make sure you have all the ingredients on hand before making the pie.
  • The cranberry peach filling can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.  Cool the filling then cover and refrigerate.

  1. Drain the peaches and reserve 1 cup of the syrup.
  2. With a sharp knife roughly cut the peaches by running the knife through the peaches.
  3. Whisk the sugar and cornstarch.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Add the reserved peach syrup to the sugar mixture.  Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Add washed and picked over cranberries to the peach syrup mixture.
  7. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture comes to a boil.
  8. Remove from heat and add peaches. Stir in the almond extract.  Pour into a heatproof bowl and refrigerate until completely cool

Assembling the Pie

  1. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie dough.  Leave at least an inch of overhang.
  2. Roll out another disk of pie dough and cover the pie.  Crimp the edges and cut a few steam vents.  OR roll out and cut strips to make a decorative lattice topping. Or another option is a crumble topping that is found in the notes of the recipe.
  3. Brush with a well-beaten egg.
  4. Sprinkle with sugar.  I used coarse sanding sugar because I like the sparkle. ✨ Bake in a preheated 350℉ oven for 50-55 minutes.  Remove from oven once the crust is golden brown and the filling is beginning to bubble.  Place hot pie on a cooling rack and cool completely for perfect slicing.  

Top with sugared fresh cranberries for a sweet and sour burst in your mouth.  It’s like an inside out Sour Patch Kid…but better.  The pie can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…my preference. 😍

      Oh YUM!!! Fresh peaches are the best. You can use orange juice and collect juices from the fresh peaches OR you can puree a couple of peaches to measure 1 cup. I’d love to hear how it turns out.

    Genius. Thank you! I never saw my comment come up the first time, so I re-typed it, and sent it off to the interwebs somewhere….so if it shows up again, please disregard . I can't wait to use your tricks–the turkey in the stock is the perfect solution. You are the best. I am drooling.

    Hello my cooking idol–I'm definitely adding this to our Thanksgiving table this year! I am wondering how this pie does being made in advance. If I made it the night before, would that just ruin the whole deal? Is this a special pie that is best served hot out of the oven? Speaking of ovens, I've only got one–and I'm feeding 20 people, so timing is always tricky! I'm hoping to do as much in advance as I can. Any advice you can give is great. Your turkey and gravy is absolutely the best we've ever had, and I will never make a turkey another way again! Thanks for your general awesomeness. Oh, and please say you're going to give away a box of your magical chocolates again this year. I've thought about them throughout the year, and hope I get the chance to eat them all alone in my closet away from my kids someday….

      You are too kind. Let me start by saying YES I am giving away chocolates again this year. I just need to make them…ahhhhh. I hate a late Thanksgiving. Start looking around the 2nd week in December. To answer your Thanksgiving questions. YES you can make the pie in the day before. I bake all of my pies in advance then while we are eating I place them in a 250 degree oven to reheat. Works every time. Our family likes dessert right after dinner. We eat until we are sick and eat pie again before we go to bed. So unhealthy, but hey it's once a year. Another thing I do is plan on having the Turkey done at least an hour before. I reserve some Turkey stock and put the sliced turkey into the stock and place it in the warm setting of a crockpot. It stays juicy in the turkey stock. That frees up your oven considerably. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and hope you win the chocolates this year!

    That was a little too much filling for my normal size pie pan. I had to take about 1 cup of liquid out, and it still bubbled over. But anyways, quite delicious. I love cranberries so I was happy to find this pie recipe 🙂 Thanks!

      I'm sorry for the spill over. Yes, I have a deep pie dish. All of my pie dishes are pretty deep. I'm should have mentioned that. I'm glad you liked the pie any way. Thanks for your comment.

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink.
