Sour Dough Cran-apple Pie Crust From Scratch
This year I decided I would make my own pie from scratch and it was AMAZING!!! I impress even myself sometimes. I decided I wanted to make the crust out of sourdough since I am on a big sourdough kick these days.
Start with one cup all purpose flour.
Then shred 1 stick of butter using a cheese grater.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 cup sour dough discard, and 1 teaspoon white vinegar and mix it all together until it begins to come together. If it is not coming together after a few minutes of mixing, you can add a tablespoon of water but you don't want it too wet!
Wrap it in wax paper and using a rolling pin to roll it out into a square.
Stick it in the fridge for 2 hours or over night.
For the filling, peel and slice 5 apples and place in a pot.
Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 squeezed lemon, some lemon zest (optional), 1 cup cranberries, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
Cook for 30 minutes and let cool.
Roll out the dough and place in a pie dish.
Fill the pie.
If you need dough on top like for an apple pie you will need double the dough recipe. For a pumpkin where you only need the crust you will only need one.
Slice air vents and pinch the sides. Sprinkle a little sugar on top and coat with cream or sour cream.
Bake at 425 for 25 minutes. Check to make sure it isn't becoming overly browned.
