Ingredients

Ingredients

For the Gluten-Free Cinnamon Gingersnap Crust

  • 1 cup GF flour
  • 1/2 cup walnuts crushed.
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or finely grated fresh ginger or more if you like a stronger ginger flavour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cranberry Curd Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries can use frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup salted butter room temperature

Garnish: Coconut, Regular Dairy or Marshmallow whipped cream & Sugared Cranberries

Instructions

  1. 1.Preheat oven to 325F
  2. In medium bowl mix together flour, ground walnuts, sugar, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Mix well and then pour in melted butter or coconut oil (liquid).
  3. Scoop mix into an 8" pie plate and pat down so there aren't too many loose crumbs.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove from oven and allow to cool before adding cranberry curd filling.
  5. In medium saucepan, mix together cranberries, sugar, and water. Cook for about 10-15 minutes on medium heat until cranberries are cooked and they are easily broken with the side of a wooden spoon. Cool and puree in blender until it's a smooth mixture.
  6. Mix puree, eggs, yolks, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, maple syrup and brown sugar in a large saucepan and cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly. After about 8 minutes, the mixture will have a pudding texture and will coat the back of a spoon. Cool for a few minutes and then add butter and mix vigorously with a wooden spoon or stand mixer until the butter is melted and the pudding is thick and fluffy.
  7. Pour cranberry curd into the baked (and cooled) pie shell and refrigerate overnight, or at least 3-4 hours. Do not cut into it any sooner or it'll be more pudding-like than a clean pie slice.
  8. Cut into slices and top with regular or coconut whipped cream. Enjoy!
