CRANBERRY WALNUT PIE



Cranberry Walnut Pie image

Something Special from Wisconsin. The state fruit is the cranberry, and of course, Wisconsin is the dairy state. The ingredients in this seasonal pie bake up into a wonderful treat for Thanksgiving. Our family first had this pie at the Elegant Farmer in East Troy Wisconsin. It took us quite a few attempts to recreate it. I think this is pretty close. You can make your own crust, or use a prepared one. Timing based on using prepared crust.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the walnuts by hand with a knife. Just be sure to chop them finely, so they will blend well with the other ingredients.
  • To make the crust, you can use a pre-made pie crust or make your own from scratch. If you are making your own crust, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • To prevent the pie crust from shrinking, trim the edges of the dough about 1/2 inch from the edge of the pie plate. Then, fold the edges under and crimp them to seal.
  • Before baking the pie, brush the crust with egg wash. This will help it to brown and give it a shiny finish.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This walnut cranberry pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet cranberries and crunchy walnuts is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. The pie is also relatively easy to make, so it is a great option for busy home cooks. Whether you are serving it for a holiday gathering or a casual get-together, this pie is sure to be a hit.
