My wife and I wanted to make something different this year as far as desserts go. This is actually taken directly from an older Pillsbury cookbook called Down-home Cooking & Baking published in 1993. One of many my wife has collected.
I love apple, and I love cranberry. I love the idea of the streusel topping on this one. So, I’ll pass the recipe on to you, and show you how it looked when my wife baked it. And I can also most definitely tell you that it was even more delicious than I had hoped!

Don’t tell… but apple pie iften bores me.
But this, THIS is not boring!
Thanks Katrina. And you’re right, it definitely wasn’t boring. I had to eat 2 pieces of it.
I love almost any variation on apple pie!
I love streusel and the topping reminds me of streusel. Sounds wonderful Curt!
Very nice choice Curt and I appreciate that it’s not ‘over’ sugared. Apples are plenty sweet. Love the pecans! Did you bake it on the grill? (kidding!)
Really have to try this. Love apples and cranberries.
Sounds fantastic Curt! Now I’m craving pie. Thanks!

I always love an apple pie, but I love even more to change things up and add some fun to a classic – this sounds so good! anytime I can incorporate a crumble into a dessert, I will.
