Ingredients
cranberry layer
- 2 cups fresh cranberries, you can also use frozen, but do not thaw.
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted*
batter
- 3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and butter your pie plate.
- Toss the cranberries, sugar, and pecans together and add to your pie plate.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times to ensure everything gets evenly incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl again. Beat in the extract.
- Fold in the flour.
- Dollop the batter over the cranberries and then take an offset spatula to gently spread it out evenly. It's ok if some cranberries poke through. Sprinkle the top with about a tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter. It will be moist, particularly because of the juicy cranberries at the bottom.
- Let the pie cool before slicing for neater slices. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes
- *Toast chopped pecans in a 350F oven for about 12 minutes until fragrant and golden.
