Cauley Square Tea Room's Harvest Pie

The pieces missing are the ones that Brody and I ate :)

I was raised in South Florida, and when I was little, I remember going with my mom and grandmom to an antique place called Cauley Square. They had a tea room that served this Harvest pie; and my mom loved it. She made it tonight and created a safe version for Brody and I (we are adding a little wheat to Brody's diet and he is doing alright with it). I wanted to share it with you...just in time for the holidays. The cranberry compliments the apple to give it just the right amount of tartness. It is definitely worth making!
