Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and butter a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In the prepared pie plate, spread cranberries evenly, sprinkle with chopped pecans or almonds, and add ½ cup of granulated sugar. Toss gently to combine.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add almond or vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Reduce the mixer speed and mix in flour and salt until just combined without overmixing.
  6. Spread the batter evenly over the cranberry layer in the pie plate, smoothing the surface.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the pie to cool for about 15 minutes before serving warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
