Hello, foodies...
Some of you may know I was a broadcast journalist before coming to QVC. And let me tell you...once a writer, always a writer. Every time I sit down to blog, I tend to write a volume. But even this journalist knows that sometimes pictures can say so much more than careful, thoughtful...copy. So because Wednesday’s recipe on In the Kitchen with David—my Apple-Cranberry Pie—has a beautiful, albeit a little tricky, lattice crust, I’m going to let pictures--and video--do the talking.
This recipe is prepared with the Set of 3 Fruit and Vegetable Peelers with Holder (K35642).
Go to David's Recipe Item Page for the full list of items that David has used in his recipes.
To prepare a lattice crust, place the round store-bought dough onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour your hands and smooth the dough surface with a circular motion.
Cut the dough into 3/4" thick strips.
Place vertical strips of dough over the filling, spaced evenly, across the pie. Use longer strips for the center and shorter strips for the edges. Allow a little of the ends to hang over both sides of the crust.
Starting with the strip on your left, lift up and fold the dough back halfway. Repeat with every other strip. Place a strip of dough horizontally across the center of the pie. Return the folded strips to their original position so they cross over the horizontal strip.
Now lift up the second strip on your left and fold it back halfway. Repeat with every other strip. (You should be lifting the opposite strips that were folded before.)
Place a second horizontal strip, evenly spaced, below the first horizontal strip. Return the folded strips to their original position.
Repeat the process until you have covered the bottom half of the pie. Then, turn the pie around and repeat with the other half.
Foodies, this pie is the very definition of holiday. Whether you serve it for Thanksgiving or Christmas, the cranberries just add that familiar holiday flavor and terrific color, while the lattice crust makes it look extra special.
For your blog question, tell me what’s the prettiest holiday dish you make? Do you dress the turkey on a bed of greens? Do you make a snowball cake covered with flaked coconut? Maybe you’ve made my Christmas Yule Log to decorate the table? I’ll see you Wednesday night at 8pm ET for In the Kitchen with David.
Keep it flavorful!
—David
