Jessica's Bake Off Challenge

This apple cranberry pie is a double-crusted fruit pie, and thus satisfies the signature bake from The Great British Bake Off  Series 4, Episode 4. I made two of these pies for friends for Pi Day. Both seemed to enjoy the pie. It is not a particularly difficult pie to make, but can be slightly time-consuming between the preparation and the bake time. The first step is to prepare the crust. This is a slight variation to my standard shortcrust pastry- I add a tiny bit of sugar. The addition of vodka or rum helps the crust come out nicely flakey, since it adds liquid to help the dough roll nicely without activating gluten (which can make the crust leathery).  It is important to make sure the dough is cold before baking. Most recipes call for completely chilling the dough before rolling it out, but I personally find that it's extremely difficult to roll if it's too cold. I chill for about 15 minutes, roll it out, and then chill a further 20-30 minutes once in the pie dish. This pie
