CHEBOYGAN (Next Recipe | Previous Recipe)

Cranberry Apple Pie

Submitted by: Mary Ellen Enos, Cheboygan, Michigan

I grew up in Northern Michigan and have lived on a farm in Cheboygan for almost 40 years. I was a cook for the elementary school and now I work for MSU Extension in the family nutrition program. I learned to bake pies when I was a teenager and I love to do it. Both my Grandmother and Mother were great pie bakers. I like this recipe because it includes apples, which remind me of all of the apple orchards that have been in Cheboygan, and cranberries. Cranberries are so healthy and now we have a large cranberry farm in the area. My family really loves this pie.
