I got this recipe from my old college roommate’s sister, who’s been a professional baker for around 50 years. It’s one of the most popular breads at their small bakery during the holiday season. They bake the bread as mini loaves, and use fresh cranberries.
…This easy cranberry-apple pie recipe is perfect for the holidays with bright pops of color and tartness from the cranberries paired with sweet apples.

It turned out quite pretty and pairs nicely with some ice cream or whipping cream.
Note – If you don’t want to take the time to make pie crust, you can swap this filling into the apple crisp recipe.
