Apple Cranberry Pie

Apple Cranberry Pie

1 unbaked pie shell
7-10 small granny smith apples
2/3 cup cranberries, fresh or thawed
6 tablespoons butter, chilled
½ cup sugar
½ cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
1/3 cup rolled oats

Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Toss with cranberries and place in cold, unbaked pie shell. The apples should be mounded in the pie shell. They will cook down as they bake.

In a bowl, blend butter, sugar, flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and oats with your fingers, rubbing the dry ingredients into the butter until crumbly. Top the apples with the crumb mixture, pressing down slightly.

Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 350° and continue baking until apples are done, about 20 more minutes. If crust gets too brown, cover loosely with aluminum foil shiny side up.

Let pie cool slightly before cutting to allow juices to thicken a little. Enjoy with whipped cream or ice cream.
