You'll also notice that many measurements are given as a range (like the 1 1/2 - 2 cups sugar). These are all about "to your tastes", as well as like if your apples are especially tart or you like more or less raisins in things, etc. Oh, and several recipes I looked thru also added a measure of chapped walnuts or pecans, up to about 1 cup. Not in mine, but it could be optional if you like them.
Cranberry Raisin Apple Pie
12 oz bag cranberries – chopped (cut in half is fine, if you have the patience)
1 1/2 – 2 c. raisins
1-2 c. thinly sliced apples, enough to finish filling your pie crust
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 – 2 c. sugar
2-4 t.. flour (or 3 T quick tapioca)
Mix fruits and vanilla
Mix dry ingredients
Sprinkle 2 T dry on pie shell
Mix dry ingredients with the fruit mix, allow to sit at least 15 minutes and then put in pie shell (taste test before putting into pie shell, in case you need the higher amount of sugar after all)
Dot with 2 T. butter
Cover with lattice crust – needs lattice for ventilation 475 degrees 15 mins, 350 degrees 35 mins
Good cold (do refridgerate) or hot/warm with ice cream....
