Ingredients
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts, thawed, or your favorite pie crust recipe
- 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Topping
- 1 egg, beaten
- granulated sugar
Here's how to make it:
- Put one of the pie crusts into a pie plate. Flute the edges.
- Combine the orange juice and cornstarch in a small bowl to make a slurry.
- To make the filling, put the cranberries, orange zest and brown sugar into a saucepot over medium heat. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat. (You can leave the cranberries chunky or mash up a little if you prefer.) Pour the filling into the pie crust.
- Use the second pie crust to make a lattice top or whatever top you like. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until crust is golden. Store the pie covered in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
