So easy and so yummy! I made this as a last-minute dessert for Thanksgiving and it was very well received. I added 1-2 Tbs sugar to the crust, which was really nice with the tart cranberries. Great for breakfast the next morning! Will definitely make again, probably for Christmas.

THE RECIPE SAYS TO USE A SPRINGFORM PAN AND THEN IT SAYS A TART PAN. WHICH ONE IS CORRECT?

Absolutely delicious! I used my own Tart Crust recipe, not a pie crust recipe. The combination of the Granny Smith apples and the tart cranberries is perfect.
