Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a large baking pan. Set aside. Separate dough into 6 pieces. Roll out on lightly floured surface into 8-inch rounds. In medium bowl, gently stir together pie filling, cranberries, spice and cheese. Evenly mound filling on dough rounds. Moistened edges with water. Fold over forming semi-circles, crimping edges to seal. Place on prepared pan. Brush with butter. Bake 12-15 minutes.
