Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries start to burst, about 10 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add it to the cranberry mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract. Let the filling cool slightly.
-
Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edge.
-
Pour the cranberry walnut filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
Create a lattice crust or any desired decorative pattern with the remaining dough. Press the edges to seal them together.
-
Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
-
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
-
Allow the pie to cool before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
