Grandma Lisa gifted us with tart green apples and fresh frozen cranberries on their last fall visit so I wanted to try a fun new recipe or two. I was busy in the kitchen beginning to process the goodies when hubby suggested pie, twist my arm, let’s eat pie!

Filling:

• 4 cups sliced apples
• 1 cups cranberries
• 2 TBSP flour
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• ½ tsp. nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp. ground cloves
• Pinch of salt

Combine in a bowl and let the flavors mingle while preparing crust.

Crust:

• 1¼ cups flour
• 5 TBSP butter – cold and diced
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. sugar
• 2-4 TBSP water

Add flour in food processor and sprinkle butter over top. Pulse until butter resembles small peas. Add in salt and sugar then water – one tablespoon at a time. Dough should be crumbly but hold together when pressed. Turn out onto plastic wrap and form a disc. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least one hour. When ready, roll out to a 9-inch circle and press gently into pie plate. Add apple filing to chilled pie crust

Crumble:

• 1 cup oats
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 TBSP butter – cold and diced
• ¼ cup crushed pecans – lightly toasted
• Dash of cinnamon and salt

Combine all ingredients in bowl. Use hands to break up butter and incorporate with other ingredients.

Preheat oven to 325° F. Once crust is prepared and in pan, add in filling then top with crumble. Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and let cool to room temperature (if you can!)
