1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 (15 ounce) package ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust
6 apples, cored

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix the sour cream, cranberries, brown sugar, and orange zest together and set aside. Slice each pie crust into three strips. Wrap each cored apple with one strip of pastry, covering the bottom of the apple, but leaving the top open. Fill each apple with the prepared filling. Place the wrapped and filled apples into a baking dish.
Bake the apples in the preheated oven until the pastry is evenly browned and the apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Let the apples stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Also I cooked it for more like 40 mins but the crust never browned. =( I'm going to try it again - because the apple tasted really good. But as written this is not a 5-star recipe. Note: It could also use some cinnamon and vanilla ice cream on the side."

"Brush the crust with beaten egg whites to help it brown. Also the crust stays on better if you peel the apples and this makes them easier to eat. Make sure you bring the crust up to the top of the cor..." See moreed apple hole and pinch it to make a lip. Spray your cooking sheet with cooking spray and lightly flour it."
