Cranberry Crumble Pie

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Cranberry crumble pie with flaky crust, jammy berry filling, and crumbly nut topping. Ideal make-ahead dessert for holiday tables.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 homemade or store-bought 9-inch pie crust

Cranberry Filling

  • 1 pound (454 g) fresh cranberries
  • 1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup (58 g) walnuts, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough into a large circle and fit it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a small overhang, then flute or crimp the edges.
  • Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling.

Make the Filling

  • Add the cranberries, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Pulse until the berries are just slightly smashed.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the chilled crust.

Make the Streusel and Bake

  • In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar, flour, and shortening. Mix with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cranberry filling.
  • Set the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Tent the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
  • Cool completely before slicing and serving.
