Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). This will ensure that the pie bakes evenly and gets that perfect golden-brown finish.
-
-
Butter a 9-inch pie pan to prevent the pie from sticking. You can also use a non-stick spray if preferred.
-
Place cranberries in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared pie pan. The fresh cranberries add a burst of color and a tangy flavor that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the other ingredients.
-
Sprinkle with brown sugar, walnuts, and raisins. The brown sugar will melt into the cranberries as the pie bakes, creating a luscious syrup, while the walnuts add a satisfying crunch and the raisins provide a chewy sweetness.
-
Beat the egg in a mixing bowl until it is light and slightly frothy. This helps to create a smooth base for the pie batter.
-
Gradually add white sugar to the beaten egg, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This will add sweetness and richness to the filling.
-
Stir in the flour and butter, blending well. This will create a thick batter that will hold the cranberries and other ingredients in place as it bakes, forming a slightly dense, yet soft pie.
-
Pour the batter evenly over the cranberries in the pie pan. Ensure that the cranberries are well covered by the batter, as this helps them cook into the filling and distribute their flavor throughout the pie.
-
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Youβll want to keep an eye on the pie towards the end of baking, as the crustless nature of this pie means it can brown quickly.
-
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra touch of decadence. The cool, creamy topping balances the warm, slightly tangy pie perfectly, making it a comforting dessert for any occasion.
This Crustless Cranberry Pie is a simple, yet elegant dessert that offers a great combination of tart and sweet flavors, and itβs sure to become a go-to treat for the holidays!
