Cooking Directions
Pie:
For pie, combine first three ingredients. Add apples, cranberries and lemon juice; toss to coat well. Spoon mixture into pie crust, mounding in center. Bake at 350°F/180°C until apples are tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Cover with foil the last 30 to 45 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Transfer to rack; uncover and cool.

Topping:
To prepare topping, melt butter with brown sugar and milk in a heavy skillet over low heat, stirring frequently. Increase heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Mix in vanilla and caramel extracts, then walnuts. Pour mixture into a bowl, let stand until slightly thickened and just cool, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Spoon topping over pie, covering completely. Let stand until topping sets, about 30 minutes.
