How to Make Apple Cranberry Streusel Custard Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, 2 cups peeled and diced apples, and 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the custard filling.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The center may still jiggle slightly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Store leftover pie, covered, in the refrigerator.
