Awesome Apple/Cranberry Pie

This recipe has received nothing but rave reviews from everyone who has
tasted mine or tried the recipe.

4 Large Macintosh Apples
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 Cup fresh cranberries (rinsed and de-stemmed)
3/4 Cups hard-packed light brown sugar
1/4 Cups white refined sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon


Mix dry ingredients together with a fork until you've achieved a fine
uniform mixure. Set aside. Peel, core, and dice apples into 1/2 " pieces.
(I use the 1/2" pieces instead of larger cuts to tenderize the apples)
Pour apples into a large mixing bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix
thoroughly with a large spoon until apples are completely coated with a
brown syrup. Pour in fresh cranberries and continue to mix until the
apples and cranberries are evenly dispersed. Pour entire mixture into a 9"
deep dish pie shell. Frozen (thawed, of course) shells like Pet Ritz are a
good shortcut...for the tops, Pillsbury Ready-Made Pie Crusts are
wonderful! Place apprx. 6-7 pats of butter around the top of the
apple/cranberry mixture. Cover the pie shell and mixture with the top
crust. Seal the edges with a fork, dipping the fork in hot water every 2-3
presses. Vent pie top with even slices and sprinkle top crust with more
ground cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Serve warm with
Vanilla Ice Cream.

Serves 6-8, depending on slice size.
