6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (6 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup half-and-half or light cream

Recipe



Stir together all-purpose flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 3 to 4 tablespoons cold water, a tablespoon at a time, over mixture, tossing gently until all is moistened. Form dough into ball. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge; fold under pastry and flute edge.

Line pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 5 to 6 minutes more until crust is golden. Cool in pie plate on a wire rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees.

For filling, pour boiling water over cranberries. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain. Mix cranberries and apples; place in pastry shell. Combine granulated sugar, the 3 tablespoons flour, apple pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in half-and-half or light cream. Pour over fruit.

For topping, combine the 1/3 cup flour, nuts, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Cut in margarine or butter with a pastry blender until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle over filling.

Cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in the 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or until top is golden and fruit is tender. Cool 45 minutes on a wire rack. Drizzle with Vanilla Icing, if desired. Serve warm or cool. Makes 8 servings.
Vanilla Icing: Combine 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing is of drizzling consistency
