Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked Flaky Pie Crust or all-butter pie crust chilled
  • 1 large egg + 1 Tablespoon milk for egg wash
  • ½ cup 100 g packed light or dark brown sugar (for crumble topping)
  • 6 Tablespoons 46 g all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon for crumble topping
  • 5 Tablespoons 71 g unsalted butter cold and cubed (for crumble topping)
  • ½ cup 40 g old-fashioned rolled oats (for crumble topping)
  • 6 cups 750–800 g peeled and sliced apples ¼-inch thick (about 5 medium apples mix of tart & sweet)
  • 1 and ¼ cups 130 g fresh or frozen cranberries (do not thaw)
  • ½ cup 100 g packed light or dark brown sugar (for filling)
  • ¼ cup 31 g all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest freshly grated for filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for filling
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice for filling
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg for filling

Method
 

  1. Prepare the pie crust according to package instructions or your favorite recipe.
  2. Whisk together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  3. Cut in cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter or forks until crumbly.
  4. Stir in rolled oats and chill crumble mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and place a baking sheet on the lower rack.
  6. Roll out chilled pie dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie dish and shape edges into a thick rim; crimp or flute as desired.
  8. Brush the crust edges with egg wash and refrigerate for 10 minutes while making filling.
  9. In a large bowl, combine apple slices, cranberries, brown sugar, flour, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
  10. Spoon the filling into the chilled pie crust and evenly sprinkle the chilled crumble topping on top.
  11. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and cover crust edges with a pie shield.
  12. Continue baking until filling bubbles and topping is golden, 35–40 more minutes. Remove shield if needed and tent with foil to prevent over-browning.
  13. Remove pie from oven and cool on a rack for at least 3 hours before slicing.
