Apple cranberry pie with a moist and flaky cannabutter crust

This apple cranberry pie recipe covers all the bases from a flaky and light cannabutter crust, to a sweet fruit-filled filling. If you’re looking for a way to spice things up this year, then why not deviate from the traditional apple pie and experiment with some other holiday-themed flavors with this cannabis-infused apple cranberry pie.

Cannabutter pie crust recipe

If you’ve ever purchased pre-made edibles and noticed that they had a really strong taste, that is because the entire thing is generally infused, which leaks the naturally earthy cannabis tastes into every inch of the dish. As such, for this holiday pie, we recommend a cannabis-infused crust instead, as the strong fruity flavors of the filling are left untouched, resulting in a discreet infusion that leaves everyone’s taste buds intact.

Preparation time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Calories: 500

Makes: Enough dough for 1 double pie crust

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups of flour
• 1 cup of cold cubed cannabutter
• 5 tablespoons of cold water
• 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of table salt

Tools

• Food processor
• Spoon
• Medium mixing bowl
• Saran wrap

Instructions

1. Add 2 cups of the flour along with the granulated sugar and salt into a food processor and pulse it on high until thoroughly combined.

2. Toss the cannabutter cubes into the food processor and continue to blend the ingredients together until they form a dough texture.

3. Use a spoon or silicone spatula to scrape the top-insides of the food processors bowl to ensure that any dry, unmixed pieces are moved towards the middle, then pulse everything together on high until the flour looks like it is evenly combined with the cannabutter.

4. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and add 4 tablespoons of ice-cold water to the mix.

5. Fold the dough until the water is absorbed, and if necessary, add the final 1 tablespoon to thin out the dough.

6. Roll the cannabutter dough into a large sphere then split it into two parts before wrapping each portion in saran wrap and placing it in the freezer for one hour.

How long do edibles take to kick in?

Edibles inject cannabinoids into the bloodstream through the stomach, which takes much longer than it does through the lungs, and this slower process is why the effects can last so much longer, with the average edible providing up to 12 hours of relaxation.
