How to Make Lemon Cranberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare your favorite 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought). Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes if using a store-bought crust to prevent sogginess.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (12 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Pour the cranberry mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, and 1 large egg yolk until smooth and well combined.
  6. Gently pour the lemon mixture evenly over the cranberry filling.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack before chilling for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) for optimal flavor and texture.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
