Steps:
- 1. FOR THE CRUST: Place all ingredients in the large work bowl of a food processor. Process just until it begins to form a ball. Remove from work bowl and press into a 4" disc. Wrap in saran wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.Remove from fridge. Allow to warm at room temp a few minutes, just until rollable. Roll out to fit a 9" pie plate. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
- 2. FOR THE FILLING: Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the cranberries and pecans.Stir until well blended. Gently stir in cranberries and pecans.
- 3. Pour into prepared pie shell. Bake at 425 for 10 mins. Reduce heat to 325, bake an additional 35-40 mins. I bake this until the center seems 'set'.It will still 'jiggle' a little when touched, but should not be 'mushy'. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.I also like to sprinkle the top with just a touch of sugar as soon as it comes out of the oven. This gives it a little holiday sparkle. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
- 4. Serve with a dollop of vanilla or rum-flavored whip cream. Or a good-quality vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- For a perfectly baked pie crust, preheat the oven to the highest temperature it can reach (usually 425°F) before placing it in the oven. This will help the crust to rise and become flaky.
- To prevent the cranberry filling from becoming too tart, add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste.
- If you don't have any pecan halves on hand, you can substitute chopped walnuts or almonds.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar in the filling.
- To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
Conclusion:
This cranberry pecan pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this cranberry pecan pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
