Cranberry-Apple Casserole

Karen sent me this recipe. We just talked about how much I love things with cranberries in them. I can hardly wait to try it.

One of the folks that I volunteer with made this, and it is quite good. When you get a chance, let me know what you think.

This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid.
