Nantucket Holiday Cranberry Pie is a must-try recipe that combines the tartness of cranberries with a sweet and spiced filling, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, lemon juice, and orange zest. Stir until the cranberries are well coated.
- Pour the cranberry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling for extra flavor.
- You can substitute the nuts with a crumb topping made from 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter for a crunchy texture.
