Recipe Notes

  • The filling of this pie can be as smooth or chunky as you like.

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Put one of the pie crusts into a pie plate. Flute the edges.
  2. Combine the orange juice and cornstarch in a small bowl to make a slurry.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
