Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Flute the edges if desired and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, 0.5 cups brown sugar, 0.25 cups all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
Pour the fruit filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
In a medium bowl, prepare the crisp topping. Combine the rolled oats, 0.25 cups all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups packed brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture has a crumbly texture. If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the fruit filling, completely covering the top.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
