Cranberry-Apple Pie image

I would strongly suggest to use a good quality whole cranberry sauce such as Ocean Spray it will really make a difference to the flavor and texture of the filling --- if desired this will also work great using a crumb topping in place of a top crust, I have listed the ingredients and amounts at the bottom of the recipe, or use your own favorite crumb topping recipe.
