Instructions
Weigh or lightly spoon 9 ounces (2 cups) flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine 9 ounces flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk; cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add ice water; toss with a fork until flour mixture is moist. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Gently press each portion into a 5-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover and chill 1 hour.
Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, cranberries, and next 4 ingredients (through apples) in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat.
Add syrup, tossing to coat.
Slightly overlap 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a damp surface. Unwrap and place 1 portion of chilled dough on plastic wrap. Cover dough with 2 additional sheets of overlapping plastic wrap.
Roll dough, still covered, into a 12-inch circle. Chill dough in freezer 5 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.
Remove top sheets of plastic wrap; fit dough, plastic wrap side up, into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
