I cannot remember where I found this recipe. I THOUGHT it had been on the inside lid of an oatmeal box, but since there is no oatmeal in the recipe , I doubt that was true. It melds tart and sweet in the form of apples, cranberries and raisins. But the fun part of this pie is that I use little leaf shaped cookie cutters to cut out the top crust.
CAPE COD OCTOBER PIEPreheat oven to 425
Pastry for a two crust pie
1 1/2 cups cranberries coarsely chopped
1 cup peeled cored and diced apples
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp butter cut in chunks for dotting the pie
Prepare pie crusts. Combine the apple, raisin and cranberries. Sprinkle with sugar flour and cinnamon and shake. Add cranberry juice and vanilla and stir but not too much. Spoon lightly into unbaked pie shell and dot with butter. The second crust CAN be cut into strips for a lattice crust, OR you can use over lapped cut out fall leaves as I did. Sprinkle the top of the pie with sugar and bake at 425 for 40 minutes until fruits are tender and pastry is brown.

Can't believe I didn't get to taste that pie(and it soooo close too.
When stacked up against a Meyer lemon tart from home grown lemons, I don;t think it stood a chance.
"you can't have everything" but I did, after visiting this blog.
I did taste that fine pie, unlike Old Paint.
But at tasting time it was sliced and covered with whipped cream. I did not see it's magnificent appearance as luscious brown and red composition. Nice photos of pie pre-eating time!
