Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 4 pounds - Fuji and/or Honeycrisp apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 packages - (4.75 oz) caramels (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 cups - dried cranberries

- 4 tablespoons - flour
- 2 - 9" refrigerated piecrusts
- 1 - egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons - sparkling sugar (optional)

1. Heat oven to 425°F. In microwave-safe bowl, combine apples, next 5 ingredients and 3/4 tsp. salt. Cover and microwave 10 min. or until apples are tender and caramels have melted, stirring occasionally. Let cool to room temp. Add flour; toss gently to coat.
2. Arrange 1 piecrust in greased 9" pie plate. Trim and crimp edges. From remaining piecrust, cut 2" circle and "petal" strips of varying lengths. Spoon apples into prepared pie plate.
