Last night I served the Handsome Husband a slice of this Cranberry Apple Pie, and he totally freaked out and asked for another slice before he had even fished his first one. Now how is that for an endorsement?
Make this pie for Thanksgiving, and people will be raving about it for YEARS.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Combine pie crust ingredients together, divide in half, roll into a ball, use the palm of your hand to flatten crust to about 1 inch.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Roll out 1 crust and line a pie plate with it.
- Combine filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat.
- Pour filling into crust lined pie plate and add second {flattened} crust.

My pie crust seems all floury and crumbly! Your’s looks so smooth! Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, Miss Mavis.
I am attempting a pie this year. For the first time ever. And it’s going to be this one. I have bunches of cranberries that I got for cheap with coupons down at the Walmart.
I was thinking about you recently – I ran in to your friend Amberlina at the Krispy Kreme Halloween thing. I was going to say something to her, but I was afraid that would be kinda stalkerazzi.
*…huggles…*
Mavis Butterfield says
Amberlina loves stalkerazzi moments, you totally should have said hi!

I made this with a boxed pie crust and it was a big hit perfect in every way. I will save this and try your pie crust recipe next with it.
Thank you for perfect measurements, I followed them to a T.
