Summer Recipe

This summer I have been cooking new recipies. It has been fun to find and try new things. One recipe I stumbled across was one for a Cranberry-Apple-Raisin Pie. I made it without cranberries because we don't have fresh ones here in Texas. The pie was really good so I wanted to share the recipe with you. It takes a while to prepare, but it is great for a hot summer day. So here it goes a few ingredients have been altered which I will share with you as well. Our pie turned out a little over done, ok maybe alot over done but its the inside that counts right?Please share any recipies you have for summer I would love to try them.
Happy Baking:)
