Nantucket Cranberry Pie

Print Recipe

Servings: 8

No rolling, no whipping, no peeling — this is our kind of pie — quick, simple and praiseworthy! While not overly sweet thanks to the tart berries, this pie is reminiscent of a French clafoutis: a dessert made with fresh fruit and covered with a thick batter.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh cranberries, chopped

½ cup walnuts, chopped

½ cup brown sugar

2 eggs

¾ cup butter, melted and cooled

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon almond extract

Whipped topping or ice cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch pie pan.
Chop cranberries and walnuts. Mix with brown sugar and place mixture in the buttered pie pan.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, butter, sugar, flour, salt and almond extract. Stir until batter is smooth and spoon it over the cranberry/walnut mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream when cooled.
