| 1 Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust (from 15-oz. pkg.), softened as directed on package | ||
| 4 medium peeled and cored | ||
| Baking apples | 1 | |
| Cream cheese | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Dried cranberries | 2 Tablespoon, sweetened | |

| Cinnamon | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
| 1 1/2 cups raspberry-cranberry juice drink | ||

Directions
Preheat oven in Convection Bake to 400°F (*375°F).
Unfold pie crust, peel off top plastic sheet. Press out fold lines. Cut crust into 8 wedges with kitchen scissors or knife.
Place 2 crust wedges together at points, overlapping points about 1/2-inch. Press to seal. Center 1 apple on overlapped points. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon each of the cream cheese and cranberries into apple. Repeat with remaining wedges and apples.
Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle each apple with 1/4 teaspoon sugar-cinnamon mixture. (Reserve remaining mixture.)
Make 1 cut in each crust wedge from apple to edge to make
4 strips per apple. Separate strips enough to space evenly around apple. Bring strips up around apple, overlapping and sealing at top.
Place wrapped apples in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish.
Combine juice drink and 2/3 cup sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring well to dissolve sugar. Pour over wrapped apples in baking dish. Sprinkle apples with remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture.
Convection Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until apples are almost tender and crust is deep golden brown. Spoon sauce mixture from baking dish over each apple. Bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until apples are fork-tender. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.
