Rustic Apple and Dried Cranberry Pie,I am hopeless when it comes to making pie crusts. Mine taste good, but they always look terrible! This is a freeform pie that looks nice even when *I* make it! Easy to make, so delicious to eat, and something a little different than the normal apple pie. I clipped this recipe out of a magazine years ago, but I can’t remember which one. Time does not include chill time for the crust.,I ate half the pie and gave my family the rest! This is the best pie I have ever had. The only changes I made: substituted the all purpose flour for whole wheat flour, 1/3 c sugar for 1/3 c honey, added 1 granny smith apple and added 1TBS butter…FANTASTICO!!!! Next I’m gonna try it with whole grain pie crusts.,I ate half the pie and gave my family the rest! This is the best pie I have ever had.
