Overall, I thought this pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This pie was a bit too tart for my liking, but I think that's because I used cranberries that were a little too sour. I'll try again with a different batch of cranberries.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown properly, but the filling was delicious. I'll try again soon and hopefully get it right.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend it to others, as it's a very well-made pie.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The cranberries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the apples. I also love the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg, which gives the pie a warm and cozy flavor.
