Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  1. Gather ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including flour, sugar, salt, cranberries, walnuts, melted butter, eggs, and almond extract.
  2. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cranberries and chopped walnuts, tossing them together so they are evenly coated.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the melted butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract into the cranberry and flour mixture until everything is well blended.
  5. Transfer to pan: Spread the batter evenly into the greased 9-inch pie pan, smoothing the surface gently.
  6. Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Serve warm: Allow the pie to cool slightly and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen cranberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding.
  • Chopped walnuts can be substituted with pecans if preferred.
  • For added flavor, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg could be mixed in with the dry ingredients.
  • Ensure the pie pan is well greased to prevent sticking since this pie has no crust.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
