Raspberry Ripple Apple Pie combines the tartness of raspberries with the comforting sweetness of apple pie, creating a delightful twist on a classic dessert.
Start with a flaky pie crust, either homemade or store-bought, ensuring a sturdy base to hold the fruity filling.
Prepare a spiced apple filling using fresh apples, cinnamon, sugar, and a touch of lemon juice, cooking until tender and fragrant.
Add a raspberry swirl by blending fresh raspberries with sugar and cornstarch, swirling it into the apple mixture for a burst of color and flavor.
Layer the apple and raspberry filling alternately into the pie crust, creating a visually appealing ripple effect.
Top the pie with a lattice crust or decorative cut-outs, brushing with egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, allowing flavors to meld together.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to complement the fruity flavors.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, to maintain freshness and enjoy later.
