Apple Cranberry Crumb Pie

I've been making this pie for over 10 years! It's like no other recipe i've found. The secret ingredient is the crushed fruit sauce, which by the way can be found near the poultry. This recipe was printed in our local newspaper which had a beautiful picture. i had to try it! Now it's become a must have at thanksgiving. The only pie that has even come close is a marie calendar pie. i thought i'd lost this recipe, but recently found it, so i wanted to get in on zaar before i lost it again! It's one of those you go crazy trying to find. Enjoy --v
