How to Make Apple Cranberry Crumb Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Beat 1 large egg yolk and brush lightly over the unbaked pie crust.
3. Bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter over medium-high heat.
5. Add 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) and sauté until crisp-tender (about 8-10 minutes).
6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup cranberry sauce and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
7. Stir the cranberry mixture into the sautéed apples until well combined.
8. Pour the apple and cranberry filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
9. **For the Crumb Topping:** In a medium bowl, cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter into 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until coarse crumbs form. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
10. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
11. Bake in the preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool completely before serving.
12. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
