Ingredients:

Crust - easily made in a food processor!

2 C flour
1 Stick butter
Sugar to taste
Pinch of salt
Ice water (no more than 1/3 C)

Filling
6-8 Gravenstein or Granny Smith apples
Juice of 1-2 lemons
Sugar to taste
Cinnamon to taste
A sprinkling of flour
1 C whole cranberries
1/2 - 1 C pecans
1 Tbs golden raisins, soaked in Jack Daniels
Orange zest
1 egg

Preheat oven to 400 F
Begin with crust - mix flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, a little at a time, while mixing, until dough forms.
Split dough into 60/40 balls. Wrap in saran wrap and keep in the fridge while making the filling.
Make the filling - Cut (and peel?) apples into a bowl with lemon joice. Add sugar, cinnamon, flour, cranberries, pecans, raisins, and orange zest. Toss well.
Roll out 60-ball of dough, drape over the bottom of a pie pan. Add filling. Roll out 40-ball of dough. Drape over the top.
Brush top crust with egg wash (just egg, unless you want to mix with a little milk), and sprinkle with sugar. Vent the top crust.
Place in 400 F oven for 20 minutes, then back the temperature down to 375 or 350.
Bake for a total of 45 min - 1 hour, when the juices start bubbling out. Be sure to cover the pie with foil when you don't want it to brown any more.
