Ingredients
1 unbaked pie crust (9-inch)
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices and cranberries with granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared crust.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and rolled oats.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the fruit filling.
Brush the crust edges with the egg wash.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
To prevent the crust edges from browning too quickly, use a pie shield or lightly cover with aluminum foil. This pie is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
