Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ðF (220ðC).

  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the cranberries pop and soften.
  6. In a small bowl, dissolve 4 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water.
  7. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan and continue to simmer for 1 minute, or until the filling thickens.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans, 1 pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  9. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
  10. Spoon the cooled mixture into an unbaked vegan pie crust placed in a pie dish.
  11. Arrange strips of dough on top to create a lattice pattern.
