From the crunch of the sugar husks on the marrow to the juicy cranberries to the flaky confection layer on top; Nantucket Christmas Cranberry Pie is cranberry dessert heaven.

This recipe was sent to me by a reader, Maureen. She saw our Cranberry Christmas Cake on Facebook and it reminded her of this pie. She thought we might like it and she was right.

Cranberry Pie

The sweetly tart combination proved to be irresistible! My whole family LOVED this pie and I plane ate it then for breakfast. That’s how much I enjoyed it.

If you can’t decide whether to make confection or pie, this recipe is your answer!

Crunchy pecans are widow to a mixture of tart juicy cranberries and sugar, then topped with a velvety thrash to make ta dessert that’s a little bit confection and a little bit pie.

Is it a pie-like cake? Is it a cake-like pie? I don’t know but I do know that it tastes phenomenal!

Christmas Cranberry Pie

Have you overly made cranberry pie before? I shoehorn that it’s not the first thing I think of when I think of pie but it makes total sense.

We eat a lot of cranberries virtually the holidays and plane increasingly pie so why not put the two together?

This Cranberry Pie recipe is moreover far less fussy than your typical Christmas Pie. Instead of rolling a soft-hued pie crust, you simply pour the cranberry filling into a pie pan and top with a thrash made from butter, eggs, sugar and flour.

Nantucket Pie

The resulting pie is begging to be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Of course, it’s moreover perfectly succulent all on its own!

When you’re surrounded by decadent, sickeningly-sweet desserts during the holidays, Nantucket Cranberry Pie is a nice transpiration of pace. It’s still plenty sweet and pleasantly rich without stuff cloying or heavy.

It works as a dessert and as a fun breakfast or brunch dish. I’m not too big on sweets and this pie was just right for me!

Fresh Cranberry Recipes

This pie is a mythological way to melt fresh cranberries but frozen cranberries work just as well!

Many of us snack on zestless cranberries all year long but don’t do much with the fresh berries until it’s time to make Cranberry Sauce virtually Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love our traditional Homemade Cranberry Sauce and all the new versions I’ve experimented with over the years like this Hot Pepper Cranberry Sauce.

Fresh cranberries are unconfined for so much increasingly than just sauce! I’ve enjoyed exploring variegated ways to use these tart berries.

This Cranberry Spice Cake is an veritably perfect confection that takes very little effort to make. There’s no icing, no topping, nothing else is required. This is one of the easiest cakes you will overly make!

Cranberry Christmas Cookies are filled with an zillions of fresh tart cranberries well-turned by a velvety sweet cookie. This is not a classically well-done or chewy cookie. I created this cookie specifically to mimic the ever-popular Cranberry Christmas Cake.

Some increasingly of our favorites include Overnight Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Cranberries and the Cranberry Pepper Jam that has wilt a staple for every cheeseboard we make.

Fresh cranberries are moreover fantastic in many savory dishes like One Pan Cranberry Chicken and Cranberry Sausage Stuffing.

I’ve made this pie with all-purpose flour and a tousle of gluten-free flours. It turned out unconfined both ways.

I’ve listed the gluten-free flours I used in the recipe unelevated but if you’re not without a gluten self-ruling recipe, finger self-ruling to just substitute each of those ingredients with all-purpose flour.

For increasingly pie recipes you might love, trammels out my Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie, Lemon Angel Pie, and German Apple Pie.

Apple Pie Bars with Bourbon Caramel Sauce are flipside fun and tasty take on traditional pie. For a simple yet trappy pie bursting with seasonal semen flavor, try this Deep Dish Semen Pie.
