Care to share your recipes from Thanksgiving?

I baked my apple pie.

6 to 8 apples, peeled and cored and thinly sliced
20 to 30 coarsely chopped cranberries
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup mild cheese shredded

¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
butter
honey
2 pie crusts

The number of apples will depend on their size and the size of your pie pan. You want to have a large mound of filling.

Combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Add the apples, cranberries, walnuts, and cheese and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Line the pie pan with one of your pie crusts. I used store bought, but homemade is better. Put 4 pats of butter in the crust. I use real butter. (I haven’t bought margarine in probably 30 years.)

Fill the pan with the apple/cranberry/walnut mixture. Put 4 pats of butter on top of the filling. Put large spoonfuls of honey all over the top of the filling. As it bakes, the honey will melt and coat everything. I probably used ¾ to 1 cup of honey all together.

Top all this with the second pie crust. seal the edges.

Bake for 40 to 50 minutes at 425F. If you need to, cover the crust’s edge with foil to keep it from browning too much.

The cranberries were an addition this year. I’ve used other things in years past, like raisins. Sometimes it’s just the apples and walnuts. The cranberries were good.

I have always added mild cheese. It’s often a soft kind like Harvarti, but this year, I had Manchego on hand, so that is what I used. It adds a richness. I’ve never tried it with something sharper, but I suspect it would be good. It might add depth.
