Additional dried apricots, dried cranberries and walnuts (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Whisk brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract in large bowl to blend. Whisk in cream, melted butter, cinnamon and salt. Stir in chopped walnuts, apricot pieces and 1 cup cranberries.
  • Transfer filling to prepared crust. Bake until filling is set and crust is golden, tenting pie with foil if crust browns too quickly, about 1 hour. Transfer pie to rack; cool pie completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover pie and store at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen cranberries. If you can, try to find fresh cranberries for this recipe.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries can easily become mushy if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are softened and still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality walnut oil: Walnut oil has a rich, nutty flavor that complements the cranberries and walnuts in this pie. Make sure to use a good quality walnut oil that is fresh and flavorful.
  • Chill the pie before serving: Chilling the pie before serving allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

This cranberry and walnut pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart cranberries are perfectly complemented by the crunchy walnuts and the buttery crust. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
