The thought of tons of candy in the house didn't sit right with me, so I decided to make a real treat...apple-cranberry pie. Have you ever added a scoop (1/4 C is plenty) of cranberries to your favorite apple pie recipe? Cranberries are a staple here in New England and I don't know why I never liked them as a child. Boy, did I miss out! Whenever I bring home dried cranberries for salads, Caroline hijacks the bag and I'm lucky to get a few. But, back to the pie...I just used Pillsbury's pie dough and handed leaf and pumpkin cookie cutters to Grace and she cut out shapes for the top of the pie. It's nice to have a baking buddy. Half of the treat is how my kitchen smells while it's baking. It's one of the things I love most about autumn! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go enjoy some pie for breakfast before heading off to parent-teacher conference. Happy November!

I ate a whole bag of Costco dried cranberries here at work. They are delicious, but sticky when they fall and roll under the wheel of an office chair. And they are rather gas-inducing, shall we say?
What a great idea! I'm definitely going to try next time I bake an apple pie. (this may take awhile...)
