1899 Bean Pot: Apple, Raisin, and Cranberry Pie

1899 Bean Pot: Dried Apple and Cranberry Pie.
The New Dixie Cook-Book and Practical Housekeeper
2 quarts dried apples
1/2 pint cranberries
Water
Brown sugar to taste
1 cup raisins
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pie crust
Very good pies may be made of the evaporated apples, by stewing in a very little water; sweeten and make like any other. When stewing, put in two or three small pieces of lemon or orange peel, or a few raisins are a nice addition; flavor with a very little spice of any kind. Sweeten and season before putting in pie-pan; a beaten egg may be stirred in. Bake with two crusts, rolled thin, and- warm slightly before eating. Or With Cranberries wash two quarts dried apples and place in a four-quart jar or bean pot; wash half pint cranberries and put in with the apples, fill up with cold water and bake half an hour; fill up again with cold water and bake till apples are tender rub all through colander, sweeten to taste with brown sugar, add cup seeded raisins, teaspoon ground cinnamon and bake between two crusts.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Yes
Notes: I didn't have dried, so I used fresh.
