5+ stars for this dessert! I was skeptical at first thinking it was going to be bland but it was way beyond awesome! I did not change a thing, prepared it as is and probally took me 10 whole minutes to throw it together! I had to hand out the recipe at thanksgiving. Save this recipe...it's a true KEEPER!

I made this recipe by first melting the butter, then adding the sugar. Next coat the cranberries with the sugar mix, that way each cranberry has its own sweetening. I dumped in all the rest of the ingredients, put in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 teaspoon orange extract and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and mixed it all thoroughly making sure that there was no flour on the bottom of the bowl. I also added a handful of fresh blueberries and a chopped apple on the top of the pie and gently pushed it into the middle. It is SUPER GOOD with vanilla ice cream when it is still warm. This will be our new Thanksgiving Eve dessert!!

LOVE this recipe! Followed some of the suggestions of others by using almond extract for the vanilla & almonds instead of walnuts. I also put the cranberries in the food processor and pulsed them just a little. The look is really festive. Then I used 1/2 package of cream cheese, 1 1/2 c confectioners sugar and 1/8t almond extract and made a tasty streusel for the top. DELICOUS! Thanks for this excellent recipe.

I've made this recipe four times in the past two weeks using frozen cranberries from last season! It's been a big hit and friends have asked me to make it again and asked for the recipe. It's delicious and probably one of the easiest items I've ever baked. I made it three times in a standard pie pan and doubled the recipe to fit nicely in a 13x9 pan. The only thing I did different was to sprinkle a few extra cranberries on top as a previous reviewer suggested. Be careful with the almond extract, it's pretty strong stuff. I used only 1/2 tsp. in 9 inch pie pans and 1 tsp. in the 9x13 pan and the flavor blended perfectly with the cranberries. I will definitely add this to my holiday recipes. I'll also buy extra bags of cranberries before the season is over and freeze them so I can enjoy this at Easter and as a special treat throughout the year! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

Made this pie today. I followed the original recipe and it was perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So easy! If you like almond flavoring and the combination of sweet and tart, you will love this recipe. Will be making this again for Thanksgiving. Today was the trial run! Thanks for a great recipe.

4 bags of cranberries used for centerpieces for a party. Party is over and I didn't want to waste the cranberries. A coworker said to make a cranberry pie. Cranberry pie? Never heard of it. Looked up cranberry pie on Allrecipes.com and found this great recipe. Simple simple simple! Cakey type of texture, tart, not too sweet and very tasty. I didn't make any changes to this recipe and it came out fine. Since I still have a ton of cranberries left, I might make a few more batches and maybe add some orange zest or maybe some blueberries.
