Ingredients

  

• 1 9" frozen deep dish pie shell

Pie Filling

• 1 lb fresh cranberries
• 1/3 cup quick cook tapioca
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Streusel Topping

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup walnuts-coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp butter-unsalted preferred
• 1 tsp orange zest
• Ice Cream-I used vanilla

Instructions

 

• If you would like to remove any store-bought tracings from this pie defrost your pie shell a little. Remove the pie shell from the foil and place it in your own favorite deep dish pie plate before baking.

  If you have a great homemade pie crust and have the time go for it!
• Wash your cranberries and pick out any bad ones.
• Preheat oven to 350' while making the filling and streusel.
• In a large bowl. Make the filling mash the cranberries with the granulated sugar with a potato masher. Stir in tapioca.
• In a medium bowl combine brown sugar, walnuts, and flour. Using a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in orange zest.
• Pour filling into pie crust. Top evenly with streusel topping. Bake on a foil lined cookie sheet until golden and bubbly for 55 minutes. If your pie starts to get too browned just tent with a piece of foil.
• Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Store pie for 1 day covered at room temperature. If you need to store longer cover and keep in the fridge. Let it come to room temperature before serving or rewarm in oven.
• Serve each slice with a generous scoop of good vanilla ice cream. This pie is really tart so it needs the added sweetness.
• Adding apples would also be really nice.
