To make crumb topping:
1. Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Using your hands, work in 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter pieces until large clumps form.
2. Divide mixture in half; freeze one half in a plastic storage bag for later use (see note below) and set aside the other half for use in this recipe.

To make pie and crust:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In saucepan, over medium-high heat, stir together remaining light brown sugar and cranberry juice. Add cranberries and bring to a simmer.
3. Reduce heat and simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed. Continue to simmer, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4. Toss all Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples, remaining flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt and light brown sugar in a large bowl to blend. Drain cranberries and toss in with apple mixture.
5. Remove prepared pie crust from freezer and fill with apple and cranberry mixture. Dot with remaining butter and sprinkle with crumb topping.
6. Bake pie 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until crust is golden, about 50 minutes. If crumb topping begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
7. Transfer to rack; cool at least 2 hours. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sliced cheddar cheese if desired.
8. Note: You can use the other (frozen) half of crumb topping to sprinkle over ice cream, frozen yogurt or fresh fruit. To make this delicious topping, just defrost and toast on a baking sheet in a 350 degrees F oven for 15 minutes.
