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!
