Apple - Cranberry Pie image

I have made this many times over the years and it is a huge hit. The sweetness of the apples and tang of the cranberries are just perfect together. With a lattice sugar sprinkled top the presentation is gorgeous and impressive. 10/08 update: Frozen cranberries will result in a very wet pie, I wouldn't suggest using them. Believe me, I just made that mistake!
