Low-Sugar Cranberry Apple Streusel Pie

Ingredients

• CRUST:
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Sugar In The Raw®
• 1 tablespoon Stevia In The Raw®
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• Ice water
• FILLING:
• 3 large Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced 1/2-inch thick
• 1 ½ cups raw cranberries
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• STREUSEL:
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Sugar In The Raw®
• 2 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw®
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg, beaten

Step 1

Stir the flour, sugar, stevia, and salt in a big bowl. Cut in the butter with your fingers until the mixture looks crumbly, with pieces about the size of peas or nickels. Slowly add ice water a little at a time, stirring as you go, until the dough just holds together when you squeeze it— it shouldn’t feel sticky or too dry.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it just enough to bring it all together. Shape it into a flat disk, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and pop it in the fridge for at least two hours (or up to a couple of days if you want to get ahead).

Step 3

When you’re ready, roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle on a floured counter. Gently transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim the edges, leaving about an inch overhang, then fold that edge under itself to make a thick rim that sits neatly on the pie dish. Crimp the edges by pinching with your fingers for a nice finish. Put the crust back in the fridge while you mix up the filling and streusel.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss the apples and cranberries with sugar, stevia, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Spoon this mixture into the chilled crust and return it to the fridge.

Step 5

For the streusel topping, combine the flour, oats, sugar, stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingers until the topping looks crumbly and evenly mixed. Sprinkle it all over the fruit filling.

Step 6

Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and brush the crust rim with a beaten egg to give it a nice golden color. Bake for about an hour, until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool completely on the counter before slicing and serving.
