Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming excess dough around the edges.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh cranberries and chopped walnuts (or pecans). Spread this mixture evenly inside the prepared pie crust.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until you have a smooth and well-combined batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the cranberry and nut mixture in the pie crust, ensuring all the cranberries are well-coated.
Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Serve the pie slightly warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
