How to Make Pumped Up Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit a 9-inch unbaked pie crust into a pie plate and crimp the edges.
  2. Reserve ½ cup mixed nuts and ¼ cup dried cranberries. Set aside in a bowl.
  3. Coarsely chop the remaining mixed nuts and cranberries. Evenly distribute the chopped nuts and cranberries in the pie crust.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup corn syrup, ¼ cup dark corn syrup, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 4 tablespoons (½ stick) melted unsalted butter until well blended.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the nut and cranberry mixture in the pie crust.
  6. Decoratively arrange the reserved mixed nuts and cranberries on top of the pie filling.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
