Cranberry Indulgence Pie

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup pecan pieces
• 1 unbaked pie shell (9-inch)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2 in mixing bowl, combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. add orange zest and combine some more. beat in eggs at medium speed, one at a time. fold in the melted butter, then add the cranberries and beat at low speed. i like to beat them just enough to crush some of the berries so the filling gets a little bit pink, but not too much--you want the berries whole in the filling. finally, fold in the pecans to blend evenly throughout. pour filling into pie shell.
• 3 bake for 35-40 minutes. keep an eye on the pie. the top may get a light brown meringue-y look. that's ok--it's delicious and lightly brittle. i use a cake tester or toothpick in the center to see if it has baked long enough to set. a clean toothpick means it's done. allow the pie to sit about 15 minutes before cutting.
