This recipe for cranberry pie was contributed by my friend Evelyn from Toronto.
She calls this a Melt in Your Mouth Cranberry “Pie” although it isn’t really a pie at all. It’s really a cake with luscious cranberries in it.
Evelyn says: My family requests my “Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cranberry Pie” when ever I ask what they’d like for dessert. It’s a great pot luck recipe too and I get compliments every time I bring it.
Wow, Evelyn, thanks for the great recipe. 5 stars for this one for sure. It sounds amazing and I can’t wait to try it.
Evelyn bakes it in a pie pan (maybe that’s why the name) and that is the traditional way to bake it, but you can also use an 8″ square pan.
The photo shows pieces that were made in a square pan.
Either way you make it, it’s really a good cake/pie/whatever it is it’s good.
I think this is one of those recipes you will make over and over once you try it.
I hope you enjoy.
Melt in Your Mouth Cranberry Pie
Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
- Grease well a 10" pie plate. Spread the cranberries over the bottom of the pie plate and then sprinkle the 1/2 cup sugar and the chopped nuts over the cranberries.

Nutrition
Cut as you would a pie or cut into squares. Serve it either warm or cold with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. (Especially nice with warm pie.)
Tip:
You don’t have to make this into a pie shape. Bake it in a square baking pan and cut into squares to serve.
