Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoon Cold water
• 3 large Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup Cranberries
• 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss until well coated. Spoon the filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the edges.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
