Southern Cranberry Pie
- Cook Time: 60 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries (rinsed and drained)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter or cooking spray for the pie plate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate or tart pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure the pie releases easily after baking.
- Spread the fresh cranberries and chopped pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar over the berries and nuts. Toss them gently directly in the pan to coat them slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the two eggs with the remaining 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale. Slowly whisk in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the egg mixture using a spatula. Mix just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the topping tough rather than tender and chewy.
- Pour the batter evenly over the cranberry and pecan mixture in the pie plate. Use a spatula to spread it to the edges. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
