Cranberry Nut Pie

 
What a delicious pie!  Perfect for the holidays and a wonderful use of my local cranberries from the bog in Carlisle.  I doctored up the ingredients slightly by adding a bottom crust and adding a tiny cap full of my orange oil ( King Arthur Store) to the batter.  Here's the recipe from Ocean Spray Recipes!
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup butter
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease a 9 inch pie plate.  ( I used a bottom crust so I didn't grease the plate)
  2. Layer cranberries on bottom of the crust or pie plate.  Sprinkle with brown sugar and walnuts.  Beat egg in a medium bowl until thick.  Gradually add sugar, beating until thoroughly blended.  Stir in flour and melted butter, blend well.  This is where I added the orange oil.  Orange zest would be perfect in the batter as well.   Pour over cranberries. 
  3. Bake 45 minutes.  Cut into wedges.  YUM!
