Christmas memories are often associated with the food we use to celebrate the holidays. One of those foods for me is my Aunt Dee’s Christmas Cranberry Nut Pie. This recipe is easy, tasty, and makes the house smell amazing!! Honestly, this pie will be served in my home for Thanksgiving as well! Christmas Cranberry Nut Pie is a pretty awesome way to celebrate the season!
A little bit about where this recipe for Cranberry Nut Pie comes from…..
Aunt Dee lives in a tiny little town in Maine called Otisfield. In 2010 Otisfield, Maine had 1,770 residents. I’m not sure what it has grown to, but I know it’s still as charming. You can see straight through to the bottom of the crystal clear lake, the residents are friendly and welcoming, and I can just imagine a pie like this being baked on a chilly Thanksgiving eve or Christmas Day in one of the little white clapboard homes in town. Ahhhhh, Maine.
Cranberry Nut Pie Recipe
For a long time I was even too intimidated to attempt it. Something THIS good had to be hard to make. Well, it turns out it’s one of the easiest pies I’ve ever made. I had to go with dried cranberries rather than Aunt Dee’s preferred fresh because of availability when I made it – and she didn’t have much hope for them, but I told her we’d wait to see what the testers said. Luckily, they LOVED it! Truth be told – I’ll use fresh when available, because I love the way that when baked the red seeps into the rest of the batter as they pop in the oven. However; we’ve just proven it can be done when fresh are not available – yay!

Hi Jeannine! I am excited to try your recipe out for the cranberry nut pie! For some reason the recipe seems to be encoded on the website instead of in a normal format and I’m trying to make sense of it between the characters…. Do you mix part A (cranberry nut mixture) with part B (flour mixture) in a bowl and then pour everything into pan or are they layered , part A on top on part B ? Thanks for your clarification!
Emily – thanks so much for pointing that out! I went in and fixed it. Yes, you mix everything together and place it into the pan. No layering needed!
