Ingredients:
- 2 cups cranberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup shortening
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Butter a 10-inch pie plate, ensuring a smooth release for your pie later on.
-
Arrange the cranberries evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup of sugar over them, creating a tantalizing layer of sweetness and crunch.
-
In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the remaining 1 cup of sugar until they form a creamy mixture. Then, gradually add in the flour, softened butter, and shortening. Beat the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Spoon this delectable batter over the bed of cranberries in the pie plate, spreading it out evenly to cover them completely.
-
Bake your pie in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is beautifully golden brown and the aroma of baked goodness fills your kitchen.
