Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 4 cups Red apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries (rinsed and dried)
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Cut in the cold, diced butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, pressing it gently to fit, and trim any excess dough.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 7

Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving.
