Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegetable shortening Crisco, ¾ stick, chilled
- 3-6 tablespoons water ice cold
For the filling:
- 1 ½ pounds apple peeled and thinly sliced (3 to 4 medium apples, choose a sweet variety like Gala or Pink Lady
- 2 cups cranberries fresh
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger powdered
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the crumble topping:
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening Crisco brand
Instructions
- Begin by making the crust. Stir flour and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the shortening to the bowl, and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or a couple of knives, until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, stirring between each addition, just until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic. Place it into the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling by placing all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir with a large spoon until ingredients are uniformly mixed and all apple slices are coated in spice mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Coat a work surface with flour, then turn the dough onto the floured surface. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle, about 14 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9 inch pie plate, covering the edges of the plate. Trim any excess dough, then use a fork or your fingers to create scallops in the upper edge of the dough.
- Place the filling into the crust, distributing relatively evenly. It will form a bit of a dome.
- Make the crumble topping by stirring flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl. Add vegetable shortening to the bowl, and cut it in with a fork or a couple of knives, until the mixture is crumbly. Spread in an even layer over the filling.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crust and crumble topping begin to brown. Lower heat to 350°F and cover the pie with foil. Bake for about 20 minutes more, or until the filling becomes bubbly. Remove the pie from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool. Serve with ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
