Apple cranberry streusel custard pie-Grizzly Creek Lodge

Lingonberries are one of our favourite wild berries, and we are lucky to have a lot of them around the lodge. Locals refer to them as “low-bush cranberries,” because they are so similar in texture and taste to domestic cranberries. I found this recipe for Apple cranberry streusel in an old Amish cookbook many years ago, and it has become a favourite at Grizzly Creek Lodge. I hope you enjoy it!
