Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and butter a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in the cranberries, sprinkle with sugar, and add pecans.
  2. In a bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  3. Gradually add the eggs and extract, beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Reduce speed to low and fold in flour and salt gently until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter over the cranberry mixture, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
  6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the pie cool slightly on a wire rack and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
