1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Toss cranberries with sugar in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread cranberries evenly in the filling.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Notes
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard for a spiced flavor.
Sprinkle sliced almonds on top before baking for extra crunch.
Swap the crust for almond or graham cracker crust for a twist.
Use frozen cranberries straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes of baking if needed.
