In large bowl, whisk the flour and salt together. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender with your hands until the butter is in pea size pieces.
Gradually add the water and mix just until the dough can be formed into a cohesive ball. Be careful not to add more water than necessary or the crust will be tough.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Filling
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch circle, and fit it into a 9 inch pie pan, without stretching the dough. Trim and crimp the edges.
In a large bowl, toss together the apple slices, cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, until evenly coated. Pour the apples into the pie pan and spread them around evenly.
Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the melted and cooled butter and stir to combine. Sprinkle topping in clumps evenly over the apples.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, laying a sheet of aluminum foil over the top if it starts to brown too quickly. Lower the temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for another 40-45 minutes, until the juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for an hour before serving.
