Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4cup flour
1/2cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
6 Tbspbutter
6 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (about 2 1/4 pounds)
2teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup dried currants
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries, rinsed and drained
3/4cup granulated sugar
4Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp finely grated orange zest
1/2teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
9-inchfrozen pie shell (I recommend our super easy, super flaky, sour cream pastry crust)

Steps:

  • Peel and slicethe apples: Peel and slice the apples. Put the slices into a bowl and sprinkle them with lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar) as you work to make them a little more tart (it will intensify their flavor) and keep them from discoloring as you work. Add the cranberries to the bowl.
  • Soak the currants in brandy:Placethe brandy and the currants in a small bowl. Let sit for at least an hour, until currants are plump. While the currants are soaking in the brandy, peel and slice the apples.
  • Make streusel topping:Mix together 1 cup of flour and 2/3 cup of brown sugar in a bowl. Add the butter, cutting it in either with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture forms small lumps.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Toss apple slices with sugar, flour, zest, spices, brandy, currants: In a separate large bowl mix 1 cup white sugar with 6 Tbsp flour, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Add the apples and cranberries to the sugar mixture and toss to coat. Add the currants and brandy to the mixture.
  • Put apple filling into pie shell, top with streusel topping: Heapfilling into unbaked pie pastry. Sprinkle topping over the filling. Set pie on a baking sheet to catch the juices.
  • Bake:Bake on bottom rack until juices bubble, 55 to 65 minutes. If pie browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  • Set pie on rack, uncovered, to cool for 2 to 3 hours.
