Holiday Cranberry Strawberry Pie

Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients (minus the pie crust and egg) in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
2. Heat until the mixture starts to boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil about 2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat to let cool or transfer into a heat-safe container and refrigerate.
4. While filling cools, prepare your pie dough.
5. For the top, make a template out of parchment paper for your chosen phrase.
6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
7. Roll out half of pie dough and fit into the bottom of a pie pan and trim.
8. Fill bottom pie shell with cooled berry mixture. Refrigerate while you work on the top crust.
9. Carefully and quickly, working on a cool work surface, roll out your second pie crust and cut out the letters from your template.
10. Using a large off-set spatula, carefully transfer the "letters" on top of your pie filling.
11. Use the remaining dough to create a decorative boarder of fall leaves, a braided trim, etc.
12. Mix in a bit of water with the egg to create a wash. Brush over the pie crust.
13. Place pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbly (about 50-65 minutes).
