Nantucket Cranberry Pie
Add Ice Cream!! It will send this dessert to the moon!
The Pioneer Woman baked her’s in a cake pan!
We’re baking ours in super cute Lodge Cast Iron mini rounds! This recipe is enough for 6 rounds. It’s not too sweet, just right. You control the sugar, just remember…
****Cranberries are TART and really do need this much sugar!****
I think to moisten this recipe up a bit, it needs a touch of liquid. Maybe a bit more butter? (I didn’t use unsalted butter) and I bet a tablespoon of lemon would tip the scales on deliciousness on this one!
I left mine in the oven too long, by about 3 minutes as I wasn’t sure what the cake top was supposed to look like. It didn’t need the extra time, but the crisp on the cake top did taste good!

Ingredients
Butter, For Greasing
2 cups (heaping) Cranberries
****I used I 340 gram (12 oz) bag of Ocean Spray Cranberries.
3/4 cups Pecans, Chopped (measure, Then Chop)
2/3 cups Sugar
1 cup Flour
1 cup Sugar
1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
****I used salted butter and FYI, 1 stick equals 8 TBSP or 1/2 cup.
2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
1 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract
****I didn't have any, I used vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Sugar For Sprinkling
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously butter a cake pan or pie pan.
****I used 6 enamel rounds. Therefore I will add comments in these instructions if you want to try that. Otherwise, this recipe is for a 10" cast iron skillet. I did butter the enamel rounds. You should butter the CI skillet too.
2
Add cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle on chopped pecans, then sprinkle on 2/3 cup sugar. **** split out equally amount the 6 rounds.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
4
Pour batter slowly over the top in large "ribbons" in order to evenly cover the surface. Spread gently if necessary. **** split out equally amount the 6 rounds. Bake UNCOVERED.
5
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. 5 minutes before removing from oven, sprinkle the surface with 1 tablespoon sugar for a little extra crunch. **** I accidentally added sugar before I baked it, no one died.
6
Cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
****Run a kitchen knife around the edge of the pie in the enameled round. Turn upside down it slides right out and is gorgeous with the berries on top.
