Ingredients

Crust

7ouncesgingersnap cookies, preferably Swedish-style, broken in half

1large egg white

1tablespoonunsalted butter, melted

Filling

1cupcranberries (thawed if frozen)

½cupwater

2teaspoonslemon juice

1cupgranulated sugar

4tablespoonscornstarch

½teaspoonsalt

2large eggs

4large egg yolks

2cupsbuttermilk

1 ½teaspoonsvanilla extract

Directions

To prepare crust:Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray; place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Pulse cookies in a food processor to form coarse crumbs. Add egg white and butter; pulse to combine.

With damp hands, press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan. Bake until just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Whisk sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Add eggs and egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Whisk in buttermilk and vanilla until smooth. Measure out 1/3 cup of the filling and whisk it into the cranberry puree.

Pour the remaining filling into the crust. Dollop the cranberry mixture on top. Draw a skewer through the two mixtures to create swirls.

Bake until the filling is golden and just set, about 1 hour. (Place strips of foil around the edges if the crust browns too quickly.) Let cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours more before cutting.

To make ahead

Refrigerate pie for up to 2 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
