After my sister took the family to the local cranberry festival, my mom bet me that I couldn't make a holiday pie out of cranberries and oranges. Considering the pie was gone before the holidays arrived, I think I won! —Heather Cunningham, Whitman, Massachusetts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed cinnamon graham crackers (about 14 whole crackers), divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • FILLING:
  • 1 large navel orange
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons brandy or cranberry juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, mix 1-3/4 cups crushed crackers and 1/4 cup sugar; stir in melted butter. Press onto bottom and up side of an ungreased 11-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Bake 7-8 minutes or until edge is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
  2. For topping, in a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and remaining crushed crackers and sugar; cut in cold butter until crumbly. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
  3. Finely grate 1 Tbsp. zest from orange. Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of the orange; stand orange upright on a cutting board. Cut off peel and outer membrane, starting from the top. Holding orange over a bowl to catch juices, remove orange sections by cutting along the membrane. Squeeze membrane to reserve additional juice.
  4. In a large saucepan, mix sugar, tapioca, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice. Add cranberries, brandy, grated zest and reserved juice; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
  5. Bring cranberry mixture to a full boil, stirring constantly. Add orange sections; heat through. Pour into crust; sprinkle with topping. Bake 10-15 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
