Baked in a flaky double crust with a decorative lattice top, this pie is perfect for holiday gatherings, autumn dinners, or any special occasion where you want to impress guests with a homemade touch. It’s simple enough for weeknights but elegant enough for celebrations.

Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh cranberries, frozen raspberries, sugar, quick-cooking tapioca, almond extract, and salt.
-
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the berries to release some juices and the tapioca to begin thickening.
-
Roll out one pie crust and carefully line a 9-inch pie plate with it, trimming any excess hanging over the edge.
-
Pour the berry filling into the lined pie crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice top, or place the whole crust on top and cut slits for ventilation.
-
Place the lattice or top crust over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.
-
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191ðC) for 15 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to let the filling set.
