Apple Berry Pie

I made this pie for Thanksgiving dinner and we ate it right up. It is a favorite but I had not made it for several years. It is tart and sweet at the same time and really delicious. Here is the recipe: Apple Berry Pie

Double Crust Pastry
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
3 cups cranberries, washed & stemmed
2 large apples, pared, quartered, cored, and sliced (3 cups)
2 TBSP butter or margarine
milk & sugar (topping)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare pastry and put half in pie plate. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, & nutmeg in a large bowl; add cranberries and apples; toss lightly to mix. Spoon into crust; dot butter over fruit. Roll out remaining pastry and cut slits to let steam escape; place over filling, pinch edge & flute. Brush cream or milk lightly over top and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 40 minutes or until pastry is golden. Yield: 1 9-inch pie.
