Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and butter a 9-inch pie plate. Layer cranberries, chopped pecans, and half of the sugar in the plate.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and remaining sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add almond or vanilla extract and beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring fully mixed before adding the next, about 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add in flour and salt, mixing just until combined without overmixing.
  5. Spread the thick batter evenly over the filling in the pie plate, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
