Deep Dish Apple Cranberry Pie with Oatmeal Pecan Crumb Topping
This Deep Dish Apple Cranberry Pie with Oatmeal Pecan Crumb Topping is a great fall pie recipe and makes an excellent addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table!
Confession: I have a weakness for eating pie for breakfast.
Any time there is leftover pie in the fridge, I convince myself that there’s fruit in it so it’s not so bad for me.
A completely acceptable start to the day.
That, really, it’s probably not a whole ton worse than eating a plate full of waffles smothered in butter and Apple Cider Syrup.

For this Deep Dish Apple Cranberry Pie I experimented with an Oatmeal Pecan Crumb Topping.
Oatmeal is healthy too, right?
I used freshly ground flour for added whole grains and old-fashioned rolled oats in the topping.
Bonus points again.
And we’ll just pretend that the pile of whipped cream is yogurt.
Regardless of whether or not it is “healthy” or “acceptable” to eat pie for breakfast, this Deep Dish Apple Cranberry Pie with Oatmeal Pecan Crumb Topping gets two thumbs up all around.
It baked up twice within less than a week.
Smelled up our house with gorgeous fall spices and the sweet aroma of baking apples.
Found itself on more breakfast plates than I could count.
And it was shared with friends.

I love the cranberries added to this apple pie for a hint of tartness and a burst of color in an otherwise quite monotone pie recipe.
It’s the perfect end to a crisp fall day and will make an excellent addition to any holiday celebration you have coming in the next couple of months.

So. I baked the pie. Loved the filling and I added the butter on top like a traditional pie. ONce before I baked it and then after the topping was added. I was disappointed that it still came out too dry for my taste. The flavors are amazing, but the pie itself was dry. not oozing with apple juices. Any idea why?
I had extra pie dough and lots of apples leftover after apple picking and since I already made a deep dish apple pie I looked around for a crumb pie and found yours. It was absolutely delicious. I didn’t change a thing. It’s similar to a Harvest Pie I make for Thanksgiving but this pie actually might beat it. Thank you for introducing me to this treat.
After working night shift for over 20 years, I can eat anything, anytime of day. Pie for breakfast is no worse than Spaghetti or Fried Chicken for breakfast after getting off work!
Hey this pie looks awesome! I am gonna make it for thanksgiving dinner. But I have a regular pie pan and this looks bigger. What size pie dish do you use??
As stated in the recipe, this is a deep dish pie. If you would like to make a regular sized pie, just use a normal sized pie crust instead of a larger recipe as. The filling you couldn’t probably keep the same since it cooks down, or make two smaller pies.

Gorgeous pie. I bet the cranberries really added to it! Will have to try this delicious looking recipe.
I do the same thing…eat left-over pie for breakfast. I’m a little worried that if I made and served this for a dinner dessert, that there wouldn’t be any leftover in the morning! Beautiful looking pie.
I absolutely adore apple cranberry pies… This pie looks fabulous! I love that it’s a bit healthier with the whole grain flour and oats!
I have an apple and cranberry crisp that is one of my favorite fall recipes. Your pie sounds like an amazing spin on that!
Love the lunch idea, Chrissy, although yeah, I’m among the “I’ll eat pie for breakfast” population too. I am definitely baking this pie this week! Both my husband and I really love apples and cranberries, and it is feeling very Autumnal out here in Maryland lately. I’m feeling as if the harvest needs to be coming in! Lol
I like a good apple pie, using yellow delicious and jonathon or gala apples, making sure it is enrobed with enough brown sugar and thickening. To push it over the top, before putting on the”lid” (after the butter) I like to throw on a handful of redhots. They add a nice pink shade and deeper cinnamon flavor. Bake it until the apples are done. Serve that with a good slice of cheddar cheese and it’s not just breakfast, it”s lunch! (Adding fresh grated nutmeg with the regular cinnamon is important, too.)
Gorgeous Katie!! Love that oatmeal in there…
Simply gorgeous pie darlin’ ! I love the cranberry addition.
I love apple and cranberry together perfect for this time of year. I too love to bake with oatmeal crumb topping, I’ll use whatever nuts or seeds I have on hand. Delicious!
wow. That oatmeal pecan crumb topping alone makes my mouth water. I could just eat that on its own! Yummy.
I must agree, this certainly looks like breakfast “fruit” to me. lol
Eating pie for breakfast is what the holidays are all about. Sometimes I think we make the pie just so we can have it for breakfast. My favorite is pumpkin.
I love pie for breakfast too! 🙂
Looks like a delicious and fall flavored pie!
Wow this pie looks beautiful! I love all the fruit in this deep dish.
You are definately not alone in eating pie for breakfast! This pie looks delicious!
I have a feeling that I’ll be picking up some honey crisp apples and fresh cranberries at the farmers market this weekend!!! This pie looks to die for!!! 😉
I am so glad I’m not alone in pie for breakfast. And apple cranberry is a tradition in our home, my husband’s favorite! I think I’ll have to try your recipe!
Haha we have the same feeling about pie and apparently the same appetite for it! Awesome combination. I might have to whip this up sometime soon. 🙂
I rationalize my breakfast like that too. Hey, it’s got fruit and oatmeal. Totally ok to eat. Nothing wrong with that. Heheh 🙂
Gorgeous Katie!! Love peeking in at your gorgeous creations!! Hope to see you soon 🙂
I’m totally into pie for breakfast too, but only if it’s filled with fruit. Same goes for a strudel or a tart of some sort. I can totally make believe that it’s good for me!
