Nantucket Christmas Cranberry Pie

From the crunch of the sugar crust on the bottom, to the juicy cranberries, to the flaky cake layer on top; this is cranberry dessert heaven. This recipe was sent to me by one of our readers, Maureen. She saw our Cranberry Christmas Cake^[1] on Facebook^[2] and thought we might like this pie. She was right. My whole family LOVED this pie and I even ate it again for breakfast. It proved to be irresistible!

slightly adapted recipe from Maureen, a BITK reader
Yield: 8 servings
(printable recipe)^[3]

Filling Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Topping Ingredients:
2 eggs
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown rice flour *
1/3 cup tapioca starch *
1 teaspoon almond extract

* If you are not in need of a gluten free recipe, simply substitute 1 cup total of all purpose flour for the items marked with an *

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the filling ingredients and stir to combine. Pour into a generously buttered 10 pie plate. (If you do not have a 10 pan, a 9 will work fine, it will simply need the full baking time.)

Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and beat again until fluffy. Add the flour and almond extract and beat once more. Spread the thick batter over the cranberry mixture in the pan. I used a small cookie scoop to quickly dollop spoonfuls across the top of the pie. It doesn't need to look perfect.

Bake for 35-42 minutes, test doneness with a toothpick, just to make sure the topping is cooked through. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
