Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • Pie dough for a double-crust 9-inch pie
  • 1 12-ounce package fresh cranberries
  • 8 dried Turkish figs stems cut off, quartered
  • 8 dried apricots quartered
  • 1/4 c. port wine
  • 1 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. orange zest
  • 3 Tbsp. tapioca flour
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • Dash of salt

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop about 1/2 cup of the cranberries. Put the rest into a big bowl.
  • Put the chopped cranberries and cut-up figs and apricots into a small saucepan and stir in the port. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until most of the port has been absorbed by the fruit. Set aside to cool.
  • To the big bowl with the whole cranberries, add the rest of the ingredients. Stir until combined.
  • When the fig-apricot mixture has cooled somewhat, add it to the whole-cranberry mixture and stir to combine.
  • Roll out your bottom disk of dough. Ease it into the pie pan. Trim edges.
  • Fill the bottom crust with the fruit filling.
  • Roll out the top disk of dough and lay it on top, trimming, rolling and crimping the edges.
  • Put the pie in the freezer to chill while the oven preheats.
  • Preheat the oven to 425. When it is fully up to temperature, take the pie out of the oven. Make a few decorative vents in the top-center of the pie. Brush lightly with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake at 425 for about 15 minutes.
  • Turn the oven down to 375. Bake for another 45 minutes or so, checking to see that the top crust is a nice deep golden color and that the juices are bubbling through the vents.
  • Cool to room temperature before serving.
