Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them in advance by placing them in a colander.

Step 10

Mix the egg yolk with the milk and brush the mixture over the surface of the pie.

Step 11

Make 6–8 slits or prick the dough with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Step 12

Bake in a preheated oven at 428°F for 50–60 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Step 2

Rinse the raisins in warm water and soak them in the juice of one orange for 1 hour.

Step 3

In the bowl of a food processor, combine 350 grams of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter, cut into small pieces, and ice water.

Step 4

Knead the dough until it just starts to come together, then remove it and divide it into two pieces — one slightly larger than the other.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, shape it into a flat disc, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Step 6

Prepare the filling. Combine the cranberries with the raisins, orange zest, and juice, along with the remaining sugar and flour.

Step 7

15 minutes before you start baking the pie, take the dough out of the refrigerator. Roll out the larger portion between two sheets of parchment paper.
