This is a wonderful twist on the traditional apple pie - great for fall! It calls for Pippin apples, but I usually use a combination of several kinds. Occasionally I add a bit of cinnamon, too!

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart, tangy flavor that is perfect for pie. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
Make sure your pie crust is cold. A cold pie crust will help to prevent the cranberries from making the crust soggy.
Don't overcook the pie. Overcooked cranberries will become tough and rubbery. Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mom's Cranberry Pie is a classic holiday dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, this pie is a perfect way to end a special meal. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give Mom's Cranberry Pie a try.
