Apple Cranberry Pie

This is a wonderful twist on the traditional apple pie - great for fall! It calls for Pippin apples, but I usually use a combination of several kinds. Occasionally I add a bit of cinnamon, too!

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.) Position oven rack in the bottom third of the oven.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, toss together the dried cranberries, sugar, flour and allspice. Mix in the apples, brandy and vanilla. Place bottom crust into a 9 inch round pie pan so that it hangs 1 inch over the edges. Pour filling into the crust and cover with top crust. Seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top using a small knife.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden.
