After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #50 - Cranberry Cherry Pie
This is a simple pie to make; there are only 2 additional ingredients besides what's in the title (plus a pie shell). A great finale to your Christmas dinner!
Ingredients: 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling, 2 cups cranberries (I used the dried variety), pastry for a double-crust pie (9 inches), milk and additional sugar.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pie filling and cranberries. Line a 9-inch pie plate with bottom crust; trim to 1 inch beyond edge of plate. Pour filling into crust.
Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Cut slits in pastry or cut out stars (or other shape) with a small cookie cutter. Place pastry over filling; trim, seal and flute edges. Arrange star (or other shape) cutouts on pastry. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 55-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
