Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade, 9-inch pie crust
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
For the crumb topping, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit filling.
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 bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours to set the filling before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
