Dairy-Free Cran-Apple Crumble Pie
Cranberries add tart contrast to this classically sweet Dutch apple pie. Leave them whole for a bolder bite, or halve them for a pretty pink filling and gentler flavor. For the pie crust, see the choice here of wheat-based or gluten-free crust, depending on your special diet needs. Photo: Alisa Fleming

Recipe Tips
In a rush? This pie will work with an allergy-friendly store-bought crust.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. In a large bowl, stir together apples, cranberries, sugar, starch, cinnamon and ginger.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add buttery spread and mix with a fork or pastry blender until evenly-sized crumbles form.
- Pour apple-cranberry filling with juices into the pie crust. Lightly shake to level out. Top evenly with crumble mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Tent the crust edge with foil to avoid over-browning. Bake for 30-40 minutes more, or until filling is very bubbly and crumble is lightly browned.
- Let pie cool for at least 4 hours. Serve slices topped with dairy-free ice cream, if desired.
- Cover pie and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
