Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box refrigerated pie crusts - 2 crusts per box

  • 2. In a large bowl mix the remaining ingredients. (I use a whole bag of fresh cranberries, but it makes for a very full pie. For a little less tartness, and less chance of overflow, only use 3/4 of a bag) Spoon mixture into crust-lined pie pan. Top with 2nd pie crust, seal edges and flute. Cut slits in several places on the top crust. You can dust the top of the pie with sugar for a little extra sweetness.
  • 3. Bake 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cover edges of pie with tinfoil after 10-15 minutes of baking. Cool 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy. Cook them just until they start to burst.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious sweetness and creaminess to the pie.
