Description

Cranberries shine in this adaptation of a classic pecan pie. Still all of the caramel richness, but with a bit of tang to cut the sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Baked 9-inch Pie Shell (or 8-inch For A Fuller Pie)
  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons All-purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cups Dark Brown Sugar (packed)
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Ground Cardamom
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
  • ⅓ cups Dark Corn Syrup
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¾ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ cups Whole, Fresh Cranberries
  • ⅔ cups Walnut Pieces

Preparation

Blind bake your favorite pastry/pie shell (according to package or recipe instructions) for a 9-inch pie shell. Allow to partially cool while preparing the filling. For a fuller pie, use an 8-inch pastry shell and adjust bake time, as needed.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour (2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons), brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and sea salt until combined.
4. Add the melted butter, corn syrup, egg, and vanilla. Whisk well to fully combine.
5. Fold in the cranberries and walnuts.
6. Pour filling into the baked pie shell and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie is lightly browned and filling is set.
7. Allow pie to cool completely to room temperature before slicing to serve. Store pie tightly wrapped with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

Note: This pie freezes beautifully! Just wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

This is wonderful! I had frozen cranberries (my sister used to live in south Jersey and hooked me up every fall), and I added them to the filling without thawing. This made the filling very thick, but I was able to spread it in the crust and it baked up nicely. I love that the pie isn’t overloaded with sugar so the tart flavor of the cranberries is featured. I sprinkled some walnut pieces on top and the presentation is lovely. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I brought it to work for Pi Day.
