INGREDIENTS

1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 14.1-ounce package)
4 cups sliced peeled Braeburn apples (about 4 medium apples)
4 cups thinly sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (about 4 medium apples)
3/4 cup dried cherries
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons roasted Saigon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons roasted ground organic ginger
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cold butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans

INSTRUCTIONS

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Prepare the pie crust according to the package instructions for a one-crust pie in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. In a large bowl, toss together the sliced apples, cherries, and vanilla. In a separate small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon each of the roasted cinnamon and roasted ginger. Sprinkle this mixture over the apple mixture, tossing to ensure the apples are well coated. Then, spoon the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie plate.

In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of roasted cinnamon and roasted ginger. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans. Evenly sprinkle this streusel topping over the apple filling.

Bake the pie for 50 to 70 minutes, or until the streusel topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Once done, remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool on a wire rack.
