Cranberry Apple Crumb Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Make pastry:
• Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle 3 tablespoon ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork (or pulse) until incorporated.
• Squeeze a small handful: If dough doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated. Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all dough together (using a pastry scraper if you have one) and form into a 5-inch disk. If dough is sticky, dust lightly with additional flour. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Make crumble topping:
• Stir together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until large clumps form, then stir in pecans. Chill until ready to use.

• Stir together apples, cranberries, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl.

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under and crimp decoratively. Transfer fruit filling to pie shell and dot with butter. Loosely cover with foil and bake until apples droop slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Sprinkle crumble topping over filling and bake, uncovered, until crumble is browned, filling is bubbling, and apples are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If necessary, cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix 1-1/4 cups of the flour and the salt in small bowl; cut in 1/2 cup of the butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, stirring until mixture sticks together; shape into ball. Place on lightly floured surface; roll out to 10-inch circle. Place in 9-inch pie plate; flute edge.

• Take the pie out of the oven and lower oven temperature to 375°.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping over the filling and press gently to compact.
• Return pie to oven--rotate pie so that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces the front (put a foil-lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any spills).
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the juices bubble thickly aroung the edge.
• Put pie on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
