Peel, core, and thinly slice 2.25 pounds of apples.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 1 cup of dried cranberries, 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground allspice.

Mix the sliced apples with the dry mixture and add 1.5 tablespoons of brandy and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Place a prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan so that it hangs over the edges a little bit.

Pour the apple and cranberry filling into the crust and cover with another crust.

Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust to vent.

Bake at 375 degrees for 60 to 65 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
