Nantucket Christmas Cranberry Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling Ingredients

01 - 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
02 - 1/2 cup sugar
03 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans

→ Topping Ingredients

04 - 3/4 cup butter, softened
05 - 1 cup sugar
06 - 2 eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon almond extract
08 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
09 - 2/3 cup brown rice flour (gluten-free alternative)
10 - 1/3 cup tapioca starch (gluten-free alternative)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the cranberries, sugar, and pecans in a bowl. Stir to combine, then pour into a generously buttered 10-inch pie plate.
02 - In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and almond extract, then continue beating until fluffy. Add the flour and beat until a thick batter forms.
03 - Dollop spoonfuls of the batter across the top of the cranberry mixture using a small cookie scoop, spreading evenly. Perfection is not required.
04 - Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the topping; it should come out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

# Notes:

01 - A 9-inch pan can be used as a substitute for a 10-inch pan; increase the baking time by approximately 10 minutes.
