Ingredients
Crust
Prepare Crust for a single-crust pie and form a pie shell
Crumb Topping
- 1/2 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Butter
Filling
- 1 Bag Cranberries, washed and sorted
- 2 Tbsps. Apple Juice or Apple Cider
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Allspice
- 4 to 5 medium Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or other firm cooking apples
- 3 Tbsps. Minute Tapioca (for thickening)
Instructions
Crumb Topping
- Use a pastry blender to mix the brown sugar and flour together. Cut the butter into pieces and use the pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour/sugar mixture. Use your fingers to finish mixing the crumb topping. It should have a coarse texture when finished.
Filling
- Add the cranberries, apple juice, sugar, cinnamon stick, and allspice to a large, heavy pot and cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst.
- Peel and core the apples, and slice them into thin wedges. Add the apples to the cranberry mixture and continue cooking until the apples soften.
- Mix in the tapioca and cook until tapioca softens.
- Add the filling mixture to the unbaked pie shell. (Be sure to remove the cinnamon stick). Heap the crumb topping generously on top of the filling before baking.
- Bake at 375 degrees until the crust and crumb topping brown, about 45-50 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, or cold with some whipped cream on the side.
