Apple Cranberry Crumb Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 prepared shortbread pie crust
    1 egg yolk, beaten
    2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
    4 cups baking apples, peeled and coarsely chopped
    1 (12 ounce) container crushed cranberry sauce
    4 teaspoons cornstarch
    Crumb Topping
    6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine
    2/3 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
Preparation
    Preheat oven 375\u00b0F.
    Beat egg yolk and brush on crust. Bake at 375\u00b0F for 5 minutes. Set aside.
    In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Saute apples until crisp-tender.
    NOTE: I found Ocean Spray Cranberry Fruit Sauce is the best.
    Combine cranberry sauce and cornstarch. Stir into apples. Spoon into prepared pie crust.
    For the topping: cut butter into sugar, flour and spices until coarse crumbs form. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle over apple filling. Bake in preheated 375\u00b0F oven for 40 minutes or until crust is toasted and filling begins to bubble. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
