Cranberry Crustless Pie

This pie is a big hit. Not as big as the meringue recipe but a close second when comparing pies with cranberries in them. There’s also the lesser known cranberry rhubarb pie on cranby.com that is not as visited since both fruit are sour in nature, but it’s really good if you like rhubarb.

Notes & Options:

There are lots of ways to modify this cranberry pie to spice it up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:

– Using fresh cranberries is always best but if you can’t then frozen work just as well.

– Add some almonds to the top of the batter. I recommend almond slivers since they are light.

– Try halving the amount of cranberries and replacing the other half with a sweeter berry if this recipe is too tart for your liking.

Make it Healthy – Replacing the sugar in the batter and any topping you may choose to add (like ice cream) with granulated sweetener will ensure your pie is sugar free and purely a starch food. Like eating fruit and bread – much healthier.
