Method

Heat the oven to 425°F. 

Shape the dough gently into a 9- or 10-inch pie pan.  To push into corners tightly, roll a small ball of excess dough and use it to press down.  Set aside.

Peel, core and dice the apples. Place in a large bowl with the cranberries and light brown sugar.  Mix gently to coat all pieces of fruit and put into pie shell.

Put nuts in a food processor and pulse two or three times to get desired size - small but not powdery. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse once or twice to blend. Mixture should be crumbly. If the nuts seem to get too fine, finish by hand mixing.

Spoon the topping evenly over pie. Bake 20 minutes in preheated oven, then lower the temperature to 350° F.  Cover the shield the top of the pie loosely with foil and bake 30 more minutes.

Cool on a wire rack.
