Cranberry with tart apple and sweet banana soaked in lemon juice in a crispy filo pastry; Cranberry Fruit Pie.
Pamper yourself with something light and fruit that’ll have you all tizzled. And, dribble.
Cranberry Fruit Pie will tumble any belief that vegan food can’t be super scrumptious.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a Christmas party and need a delicious dish that’ll get your guests yapping
- When you’ve an office event and you’re out of time and need a quick and dirty dish to satiate your appetite
- When you’ve got Aunty Betty who’s invited herself last minute and you need a dish that will quench her appetite
Cranberry Fruit Pie was inspired by when having friends visiting and having cranberry, apple and bananas in the pantry and rustling a quick recipe to go with our main.
Cranberries are rich in antioxidants helping neutralising free radicals which damages cells, and its helps prevent unitary tract infections too.
Filo pastry has the huge advantage of being quick and easy resulting in thin quick crispy pastry. I use it when I am pushed for time.
Cranberry Fruit Pie is vegan.
