Nantucket Cranberry Pie

This recipe was given to me by a friend, and it is the best balance of sweet and tart I've tasted in a cranberry pie. It can be served with vanilla ice cream or yogurt.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
• 1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• cooking spray
• 2 large eggs, slightly beaten

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch deep dish pie pan with cooking spray. Pour cranberries, pecans, and 1/2 cup sugar into the pie pan.

Step 2

Combine flour, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, and almond extract in a bowl. Mix with an electric beater until creamy and white in color. Pour over cranberry mixture in the pie pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until slightly crusty on the edges, lightly set in the middle, and light golden in color, about 35 minutes. Don't overbake; you do not want to dry it out to a cake-like consistency.
