Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for cranberries)
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Spread the fresh cranberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
Sprinkle the cranberries with 0.5 cups of granulated sugar (for cranberries) and the chopped pecans or walnuts.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar (for topping), and salt.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and almond extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly over the cranberry and nut mixture, using a spatula to spread it out if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 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 allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
