How to Make Cinnamon Crumble Top Apple Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  3. **Make the Filling:** In a large bowl, gently combine 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced Granny Smith apples, 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. **Make the Crumble Topping:** In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until combined.
  5. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using the on/off pulse function until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Place your pre-made pie crust into the bottom of the pie dish, leaving about a 1-inch overhang.
  7. Fold the overhanging crust under and crimp the edges to create a decorative fluting.
  8. Gently toss the apple mixture again before mounding it into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over and around the apples.
  10. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  11. Bake for 40 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  12. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  13. Continue baking for another 45-55 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork, the filling is bubbling, and the topping is golden brown.
  14. Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
