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
Gather ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including flour, sugar, salt, cranberries, walnuts, melted butter, eggs, and almond extract.
Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
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.
Add wet ingredients: Stir in the melted butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract into the cranberry and flour mixture until everything is well blended.
Transfer to pan: Spread the batter evenly into the greased 9-inch pie pan, smoothing the surface gently.
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.
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.
