Peel and core the apples and slice thinly.
Layer apple slices over the bottom of the tin. Distribute about 2 tablespoons of the cranberries over the apples (if using). Sprinkle with some of the lemon juice
Repeat layering of apples (and cranberries) and lemon juice until all of the apples are in the pan. Push down on the apples to distribute them evenly in the pie tin.
In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon once or twice. Cut the butter into eight pieces and add to the processor. Pulse about eight times until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Pout the crumb topping on top of the apples and use your hand to spread it out evenly over the apples, sealing the edges.
