My mom is an excellent pie maker, so I learned from the best. If my pie with cranberries and pineapple seems tart, sprinkle sugar on the lattice. —Courtney Stultz, Columbus, KS

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium apple, peeled and thinly sliced
Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, water and honey. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until berries pop, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine pineapple, cornstarch and cinnamon; stir in cranberry mixture and apple. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of pastry dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry even with rim. Add filling.
Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Bake 45-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover pie loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack.

Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches): Combine 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp. salt; cut in 1 cup cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add 1/3 to 2/3 cup ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

This pie was on the menu for Christmas Eve dessert this year. It was very tart, but I enjoy tart desserts and the cranberry flavor. My mom and I thought it was great with vanilla ice cream; my husband preferred whipped topping on his. I would make this again.

This is a very good pie. I love the color. It smells heavenly. It is just a little bit tart which I actually really enjoyed with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cup of tea.
