Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh cranberries and chopped walnuts. Stir to evenly distribute.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and all-purpose flour.
Add the melted butter to the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
Pour half of the sugar-butter mixture over the cranberry and walnut mixture, and stir to coat.
Transfer the cranberry and walnut mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the remaining sugar-butter mixture over the top of the cranberries and walnuts, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
