Instructions
- Make the crust: Whisk together flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Make the filling: In a saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually whisk the hot cranberry mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
- Pour filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until custard is set and crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream in the filling. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth.
