Gluten Free Easy Cranberry Walnut Pie

Easy Cranberry Walnut Pie

Ingredients
Cranberry Filling:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 cup water water
• 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1/2 cup raspberries, tightly packed, fresh or previously frozen
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Oatmeal Crust/Topping

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour or gluten free flour blend
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup uncooked oatmeal

To make cranberry filling:  Mix together sugar and cornstarch (to avoid lumps).  Add all ingredients except walnuts and extract to a heavy bottom sauce pan.  Cook until cranberries have popped and mixture starts to thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in walnuts and almond extract. Set aside and allow to cool while prepping the crust.

Chopping walnuts

To make oatmeal dough:  Sift together flour, salt and sugar; cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add oatmeal and mix thoroughly. Pat 2/3rds of the dough in an ungreased 9 inch pie pan, patting evenly up the sides and on the bottom to create the crust.  Spread cranberry filling over crust.  Sprinkle top with remaining dough for a streusel effect.
Bake at 350°F until lightly browned (approximately 45-50 minutes).
Cool and slice.  Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.  Makes 8 servings.
