This Williams Sonoma Cranberry Apple Pie is a recipe I’ve been making for years. If you want to make someone happy, make them this pie! It’s a perfect way to end a lighter winter meal, maybe soup and bread with a pie chaser? It could work! If you made a lighter soup, you could afford the extra calories of the pie. Just sayin…. Soup, bread and wine is a favorite winter meal around here. I’ve got a lot of soup recipes you can choose from, but this Chicken Tortilla Soup will warm you up on a cold night https://therockymountainwoman.com/creamy-chicken-tortilla-soup/. Ok, it’s not exactly a light soup, but it’s frickin 10 below zero out there. Don’t judge me, I’m freezing up here.
Try this! You’ll love it!

I love the combination of cranberries and apples. The Williams Sonoma website is geoblocked here for some reason. They seem to have a great selection of recipes.
Hi Tandy,
Too bad you can’t access the Williams-Sonoma site, they have some wonderful recipes. I will say, however, that if I were blocked from that site, my finances would improve considerably.

Oh yes ! I plan to make leek and potato soup today and this pie fits just fine afterwards. Thank you and I wish you have a healthy and prosperous 2017.!
