Cranberry Apple Pie

I know I am supposed to showing you only post-holiday guilt-free recipes but it isn't really after the holidays yet and I just had to share this amazing pie recipe with you. I made it for Christmas dinner at my parents' house and it was so heavenly! IThe tartness of the cranberries and apples and the sweetness of the glaze were delicious. The nutmeg and cinnamon really gave the whole pie that holiday taste. I added a pinch more of each spice to the filling. If you have any sort of exuses occasions to make this pie, you should! Recipe adapted from e-mealz.
