Cranberry Apple Pie

This pie is Christmas in your mouth y’all! It has all the right flavors. Apples, cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and orange zest. Christmas pie perfection.

I made the first one of the season today. I actually made two. One for a customer and one for us. My Aunt, Uncle and cousin just happened to be here and got to enjoy a slice warm from the oven. It did not disappoint!
