Steps:
- Roll out dough to a 12-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges of dough under itself until flush with edge of dish. Crimp edges with fingers, the tines of a fork, or a spoon. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make crumb topping.
- Crumb Topping: Combine flour, pecans, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Massage butter into flour mixture with your fingers until mixture clumps together and no dry flour remains. Press into bottom of bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Filling: In a large bowl, toss apples and pecans with flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated. Stir together lemon juice and vanilla, drizzle over apple mixture, and toss to evenly coat.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in middle and lower third positions. Place a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet on lower rack. Pour apple mixture into crust. Break up topping into large pieces and sprinkle evenly over filling. Bake on center rack until bubbly and crust is golden brown, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. (If crust and crumb topping brown too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Tips for Making Apple Cranberry Pecan Pie
- To get the best flavor from your apples, choose a variety that is tart and firm, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- Pecans add a delicious nutty flavor to the pie. If you don't have pecans, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
- Don't overmix the pie crust. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion
Apple cranberry pecan pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and its flaky, buttery crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this apple cranberry pecan pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
