and shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs with a few larger
pieces. In measuring cup, combine yolk, lemon juice and enough water to
make 1/4 cup; with fork, stir briskly into flour mixture, l tbs. at a time,
until dough holds together. On floured pastry cloth, roll out pastry into
14-inch circle, leaving edges rough. Transfer to 12-inch pizza pan, letting
pastry hang over edge. Reserve 2 tbs. of the sugar; combine remaining sugar
with almonds and flour. Sprinkle about half over pastry. Peel, core and cut
apples into eights; arrange in single layer over almond mixture. Sprinkle
with cranberries and remaining almond mixture and sugar; dot with butter.
Fold pastry overhang over filling to form attractive ragged edge; brush top
of pastry with cream. Bake in 425?F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to
375?F; bake for 35 minutes longer or until apples are tender and pastry
golden. Let cool on rack; dust with icing sugar.
