Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 tsp (5g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 6-8 tbsp (90-120ml) ice water
  • 5 cups (650g) Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) fresh cranberries
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • ¾ cup (85g) chopped walnuts
  • 3 tbsp (38g) brown sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions:

  1. Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
  2. Stir in ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just holds together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Toss sliced apples and cranberries with lemon juice.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the dry mixture over the fruit and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Roll out the first disc and fit it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Sprinkle half of the chopped walnuts across the bottom.
  6. Pour in the fruit filling and top with the remaining walnuts.
  7. Roll out the second disc and place it over the top; crimp the edges to seal.
  8. Brush the top with a beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar.
  9. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for another 40 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown.
