This is a really delicious pie - the tartness of the cranberries with the sweet streusel topping is perfect ! I used Granny Smith apples, and brown sugar for both the filling and the topping. I tossed in cranberries right out of the freezer. Wonderful results for just a little effort - thank you very much for sharing this recipe !
