Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons ice water
3 Rome apples (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
4 McIntosh apples (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 cup cranberries (thawed if frozen)
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 teaspoons coarse sugar

Steps:

Make crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add 1 tablespoon more ice water). Do not overmix. Form dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to 2 weeks). On a floured piece of parchment, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
Make filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together apples, cranberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, and salt. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish; dot with butter. Tear or cut dough into pieces (around 3 inches square). Lay dough pieces, overlapping slightly, over apple mixture. Brush dough with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until crust is browned and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
