Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, butter, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges.
5. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate chips, cranberries, cinnamon, and sugar. Sprinkle mixture over the bottom of the pie crust.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and milk. Brush the egg wash over the edges of the pie crust.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
