Dutch Apple Cranberry Pie

1 ready-made pie crust

5 1/2 cups cooking apples (peeled, cored and sliced) – I used Cortland this time

1 cup cranberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

¼ cup tablespoons flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Topping:

1/2 cup flour

1/2  cup oats

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup butter  softened

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Fit pie crust into pie plate.

3. In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, cranberries, lemon juice, sugars, flour, cinnamon. Pile into crust.

4. Prepare topping: In a medium bowl mix flour, oats, sugar and butter until coarsely crumbled. Sprinkle evenly over apples.

5. Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes.

(If your crust gets too brown early on, cover the edges of the pie crust with tin foil and continue baking)


I did try and incorporate chopped cranberries in the topping, but they got too well done, so I would not recommend it...other than that - this is a damned good pie.
