In this wonderful pie, tart cranberries and a little apple balance the sweetness of the walnut filling. If you wish, you could substitute pecans for
the walnuts.

Ingredients

Single-Crust Pie Pastry:
2 eggs
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  cornstarch
2/3 cups  (150 mL)  golden corn syrup
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  butter, melted
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  dark brown sugar
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  granulated sugar
2 tsp  (10 mL)  grated orange rind
2-1/2 cups  (625 mL)  coarsely chopped walnut
2 cups  (500 mL)  cranberry
1 cup  (250 mL)  grated peeled apples

Preparation

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough into circle scant 1/4 inch/5 mm thick; line 9- or 10-inch/23 or 25 cm pie plate, then trim and flute edge. Prick with fork.

Line with parchment paper and weigh down with pie weights or dried beans; bake in bottom third of 425F/220C oven for 10 minutes. Remove paper and weights.

In large bowl, whisk eggs with cornstarch until smooth. Whisk in corn syrup, butter, brown and granulated sugars, and orange rind; stir in walnuts, cranberries and apples. Scrape into pie shell; bake in bottom third of 400F/200C oven, covering edge with foil if browning, until filling is bubbling and cranberries are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.

Let cool completely on rack before serving, 3 hours.
