Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh cranberries
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Unbaked pie crust (9-inch)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse and drain the fresh cranberries. Set them aside to dry slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, orange zest, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them until smooth. Add the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the eggs, then mix until fully combined.
Pour the egg and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
Add the cranberries to the batter and gently fold them in until they are evenly coated.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if not prepped already. Ensure the edges of the crust are trimmed and crimped for a neat appearance.
Pour the cranberry filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serve the pie as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
