Made for Holiday Tag 2007. This is a nice variation on the apple pie. I used driec cranberries because I didn't have any fresh cranberries on hand. Since I used dried cranberries, I only used one cup in the middle layer and then sprinkled a small handful on the top layer apples. The slight tartness of the cranberries was a nice change from the usual apple pie. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe and a sure to be holiday favorite.

This has a great taste, but my filling didn't thicken very much. I think next time I'll add a TBS tapioca to see if this solves the problem. Thanks for posting !
