Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425.

Brush edges of pie crust with heavy cream to create golden brown finish.

To prepare filling, whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in small bowl.

Place apples in large bowl and toss with sugar mixture, making sure all of apples are thoroughly coated. Add dried cranberries, mixing well. Place apple mixture in pie crust, distributing evenly.

To prepare topping, combine all ingredients, except butter, in small bowl. Mix well. Add butter, and using two knives, cut in butter until mixture forms small pea-size pieces. Sprinkle over filling, covering it completely.

Place pie plate on baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and continue baking 40 minutes, or until apples are tender. Insert cake tester or knife into pie to check firmness of apples. If apples are still firm, continue baking until they soften. If topping is getting too brown and apples are not done yet, cover pie with aluminum foil to allow apples to bake a bit longer.

Transfer pie to wire rack and let cool 1½ hours before serving.

Apple pies are best served either at room temperature or warmed at 350 for about 10 minutes. Apple-Cranberry Crumb Pie will keep at room temperature overnight and can be stored in the refrigerator up to four days.
