Bold Raspberry Apple Pie #fall #applepie #holiday

With so many dessert options around the holidays, it’s important that the dessert you bring to the party is the one that stands out. There’s no use putting your heart and soul into baking homemade pie, only to bring most of it home at the end of an event. Well, I can guarantee that won’t happen if you serve raspberry apple pie to your friends and family this holiday season.

We bring home bushels of hand-picked apples every fall and a good portion of them end up in pies… So you could say I’ve made my fair share of apple pies over the years. Classic apple pies, some with crumb toppings, others with savory elements.

Yet, I’ve never seen an apple pie disappear as fast as this one!

How to Make Raspberry Apple Pie #fall #applepie #holiday

The extra pop of vibrant raspberry flavor from fresh Driscoll’s Raspberries makes this raspberry apple pie recipe the shining beacon of fruity bliss at any holiday event.

I started my Raspberry Apple Pie much like I would have started any apple pie. I made my pie crust and gingerly placed one piece in a large deep-dish pie pan.

Then I peeled, cored, and cut the apples and tossed them in lemon juice. Yet here’s where it gets interesting…

Before filling the pie crust, I tossed in fresh sweet raspberries and a large scoop of raspberry preserves.

Then I cut the second crust into hearts to cover the top of the pie so there are plenty of natural air vents. Pretty and practical.

The apples and raspberries bake and bubble together inside the pie creating the most glorious aroma and flavor. Raspberry Apple Pie is brighter and bolder than standard apple pie, with pink dripping Driscoll’s raspberries speckled throughout.

Raspberry Apple Pie Recipe

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
This tangy-sweet Raspberry Apple Pie Recipe is a huge hit around the holidays! It is loaded with the comforting flavors of classic apple pie.
Servings: 8 pieces

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degree F and place the rack in the lowest position. Place a piece of plastic wrap (or foil) out on the counter. Flour the plastic wrap and place the pie crust dough on the floured work surface. Flour a rolling pin and roll one dough disk out into a large round circle approximately 12 inches across. Carefully lift the plastic wrap and flip the dough circle over into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Gently fit the pie dough down into the pie pan—don't stretch it. Then fold the rough edges under and pinch-crimp the edges with your fingers.
  • Place the lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel and thinly slice all the apples (1/8- to 1/4-inch thick) tossing in the lemon juice as you add them to the bowl.
  • Add the Driscoll's Raspberries, granulated sugar, raspberry preserves, corn starch, spices, and salt to the apples. Gently toss the mixture by hand to coat. Scoop the raspberry apple filling into the pie crust. Shake a little so the filling settles into place.
  • Roll out the second pie crust and use a cookie cutter to cut fun shapes for the top crust. (I used a heart cookie cutter.) Lay the pie crust shapes over the filling, overlapping on the edges. Then whisk the egg and water to create an eggwash. Brush the eggwash over the top of the pie crust, then sprinkle the top of the crust with coarse Demerara sugar.
  • Place the pie in the oven, and LOWER THE TEMPERATURE TO 375 DEGREES F. The extra heat from the beginning gives the crust a little head start in baking. Bake the pie for 70-80 minutes, until golden and bubbly. If the crust starts to get dark, loosely cover with foil while baking. *Make sure you see the juices bubbling - otherwise the filling will be runny.
  • This is the hard part... DO NOT cut the pie until it has cooled down to room temperature. I know it smells amazing and is very hard to resist, but the filling needs time to settle and set, so it's not soupy. If you cut your pie too soon, it will fall apart. I suggest making the pie in evening before you need it and let it rest overnight.

  1. I made this pie but I made it sugar-free. I used monkfruit. I didn’t put the raspberry jam. It is delicious! The monkfuit has no after taste like the other sweetners. This is a keeper.

  3. wowwww delicious

  4. I made this last night. I used half the white sugar, and skipped the raspberry preserves and brown sugar. Everyone thought it was delicious. We cut the pie while still warm, so the filling did not hold its shape perfectly, but no one minded. We ate it with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The next morning the filling was properly solid, and we enjoyed the second half for breakfast.

  5. Thank you for sharing an excellent & helpful post

  6. Thank you very much for explaining everything in detail.

  7. I made this pie and enjoyed but thought there where a lot  of raspberries, maybe next time cut the raspberries down to only one container.  

  8. This recipe made an excellent pie.

    However, I found the Raspberry ingredients to be a distraction, rather than an enhancement, relative to “plain” Apple Pie.

    Me only, you may like this variant better.

  9. I think I will also make it at thanks giving with a nice cutouts for the crust.This looks amazing.

  10. My kids love them. Thanks for sharing.
