Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the cranberries start to burst and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool the Filling

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the filling cool while you prepare the crust.

Crust Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 5

    Cut in Butter

    Add the unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 6

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

  4. 7

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 9

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie dish, making sure it's about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. 10

    Transfer to Pie Dish

    Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, trimming any excess dough from the edges.

  4. 11

    Add Filling

    Pour the cooled cranberry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.

  5. 12

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

  6. 13

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cranberry pie!
