Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 5 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Juice of a lemon
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt for the crust. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together. Form the dough into two disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the first disk of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Place it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the excess hang over the edges.

Step 6

Pour the apple and cranberry filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
