Created by ellie on November 16, 2014

2 unbaked (12 inch) pie crust
1 1/2 pounds granny smith apples (peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
1 cup dried currants
3/4 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup dried diced apricots, diced
1/2 cup dried cherries, diced

2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons rum

Step 1: Place crusts on 2 rimless baking sheets and chill while preparing filling.

Step 3: Place all the dried fruit in the processor, using on/off turns until fruit starts to stick together - add to apples.

Step 5: Transfer 1 crust to a 9 inch glass pie dish, leaving dough overhang. Spoon filling to crust.
Step 6: Cut second crust into 1/2 inch wide strips. Arrange 6 dough strips on top of filling, spacing 1 inch apart. Place 6 dough strips at 45 degree angle to firs t strips, forming a diamond lattice pattern. Trim strips even with the bottom crust. Fold crust edge and strips in; press edge with tins of fork to seal. Whisk cream and sugar together and brush mixture over lattice crust.
