This delicious cranberry pie is so totally worthy of your holiday table!! The best part is, it’s a clean eating pie recipe, and the pie is so good, everyone will be raving about it!
The holidays are here, and I admit to having poor timing. Leave it to me to try to sell my house right when the jingle bell frenzy is starting to kick in.
My house is about 70% packed and ready to move. This means, I need an easy dessert to make with minimal tools and dishes, and one I can prep ahead of time to share with family is an absolute necessity right now. I simply can’t do a lot of cooking or baking this year. Make-ahead meals and easy dessert recipes like cranberry pie are seriously amazing. They are responsible for saving my holidays this season!
I was able to put together a cranberry pie between appointments for showing my house. It is fast and easy, and the best part is, dessert is prepped and ready to be baked fresh for the holiday meal. It doesn’t get much easier for this busy girl!
Cranberry lovers everywhere will appreciate this delicious cranberry pie. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Top a slice of the pie with a little honey-sweetened whipped cream and you’ve got a wholesome, amazingly delicious holiday dessert!

Brenda says
If the filling can be frozen, can you make this wusing frozen cranberries as well?
The Gracious Pantry says
Brenda – I wouldn’t because it will add extra water. You could try it, I just can’t guarantee how it will turn out.
Brenda says
Omg, I finally got around to making this (procrastinate much?!) and I LOVE it! I usually shy away from pies with regular pie crust, because I haven’t been successful with it, but I recently found a frozen crust I like, so I took a chance. This will be a new holiday tradition! Great taste, easy to make and delicious — win, win, win!
