Directions
I started making these about 20 years ago on one weekend when my husband was away for the weekend with all his friends the weekend before Christmas. I was alone and started making pies. I made about 20 pies that night, homemade crusts and all. I made a handful of these cranberry apple pies and the rest just standard apple pies.
After that weekend of apple pie making, you would think I wouldn’t make apple pies ever again! But, instead the cranberry apple pie is one I try to figure out how to make every year. I don’t always get a chance to make it, mostly because I have some picky family members (one of which who freaked out at my crumble topping on the apple pie).
So, I tend to stick with traditional pies. But this year I put my foot down and made this and my husband’s family loved it.
