I found it!! The Pie Recipe!! I'm going to assume that you all know how to make plain pastry for a pie shell and crust. That's the hard part. Here's the easy part -- and I swear that it takes better than any apple pie you've ever had!

Apple Cranberry Raisin Pie

Line a 9 inch pie pan with plain pastry.

Core, peel and slice into the pan 4 large tart apples. Scatter over the apples 1 cup cranberries and 1/2 cup raisins (I prefer fresh cranberries and the dark raisins). Mix and sprinkle over the fruit 1/2 cup sugar (you can substitute 1/3 cup of dark honey for the sugar; but, you have to reduce the butter by 1/2-1/3 tablespoons if you do), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons flour. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter(!) and grated lemon rind.

Put on top crust and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes, or until fruit is tender when you test it with a fork.

Serves 6.

Enjoy!! -- Áine
