Cranberry Indulgence Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2
   In mixing bowl, combine sugars, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. 3
   Add orange zest and combine some more.
4. 4
   Beat in eggs at medium speed, one at a time.
5. 5
   Fold in the melted butter, then add the cranberries and beat at low speed.
6. 6
   I like to beat them just enough to crush some of the berries so the filling gets a little bit pink, but not too much--you want the berries whole in the filling.
7. 7
   Finally, fold in the pecans to blend evenly throughout.
8. 8
   Pour filling into pie shell.
9. 9
   Bake for 35-40 minutes.
10. 10
    Keep an eye on the pie.
11. 11
    The top may get a light brown meringue-y look.
12. 12
    That's ok--it's delicious and lightly brittle.
13. 13
    I use a cake tester or toothpick in the center to see if it has baked long enough to set.
14. 14
    A clean toothpick means it's done.
15. 15
    Allow the pie to sit about 15 minutes before cutting.
