I saw this recipe on one of my favorite blogs,
and I just HAD to make one for our Thanksgiving gathering.
The more pies and cakes we have, the better we like it...!
it just sounded like it would be perfect for the day.
I've used my Aunt Lola's
NEVER FAIL PIE CRUST recipe since 1967...
and, it has never failed.
This recipe makes 2 crusts...
I've never been able to make a beautiful crust...
....but it will do.
♥
and to use FRESH CRANBERRIES
but...
I only had CHOPPED pecans...
and frozen sweet DRIED cranberries.
bummer...
but when I googled
"Can I substitute sweetened dried cranberries in recipes
that call for fresh cranberries ?"
I loved the answer:
"Yes, sweetened dried cranberries work well in baked goods; however
there is a ¼ cup difference in measurement. If a recipe calls for one
cup of fresh or frozen cranberries, use ¾ cup of sweetened dried
cranberries. Sweetened dried cranberries should not be used in cooked
sauces."
While the pecan pie was baking,
I made a
CARAMEL APPLE CRUMBLE
Pioneer Woman's recipe
I forgot to add this link..
I used her filling recipe and call mine a crumble.

DeleteYou're killing me with all this baking!!! You must have an Energizer Buuny Battery running you these days!!
ReplyDeleteHi bj, Yummy beyond my will power. Your aunt's pie crust recipe is exactly like my mom's. However, she always made it better than me. The ice water is a big deal. Love your post and your "best MAN win" words.
ReplyDeleteLove ya, Jeanne
Oh, those look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteCranberries and pecans ~ perfection!
ReplyDeleteOh BJ...these are just beautiful! You are a marvelous pie baker!!!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I have pecans that I can use, just need the cranberries:). Enjoy your day dear B. J. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI read your post and have to step on the scales just to make sure I ddint gain a pound or two from it. Hahaha. Id love to be at your house during the holidays. I bet it always smells like a bakery! Beautiful pie! Im gonna save this recipe for the pie crust. Making them seems more fun than buying one already made.
ReplyDeleteLisa
They both look so good!!
ReplyDeleteThey both look so delicious. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteThe recipes look great, especially the pie crust, which I desperately need. And the tips too, about the cranberries. Oh, I love this food season!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful and delicious pie.
ReplyDeleteLove
Wow BJ, I'd say you are a marvelous pie baker! Pecans and cranberries sound wonderfully delicious. And that apple crumble sure is making my mouth water. How in the world are you going to save these for Thanksgiving? ♥
ReplyDeleteBj, Those would not last till Thanksgiving here, LOL. You are a fine baker. You do your Aunt Lola proud using her recipe. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Bj, wow thanks for sharing these pie recipes. I look forward to trying them out sometime. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteJulie xo
You are staying right on top of things, BJ. That looks so good and I, for one, love pecan pieces...easier to eat. Your freezer must be getting full! And, fwiw your crust looks great!
ReplyDeleteBJ this recipe looks so interesting I have to try it my friend!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Vera
I love pecan pie. This looks just like my Mississippi Pecan Pie except for the cranberries. I will try it this year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall.
Oh BJ, thanks for sharing your Aunt Lola's pie crust recipe...you had me at no-fail...I never got my mom's pie crust recipe...so, Hello Aunt Lola....I'll let you know how I do. :)
ReplyDeleteOne word only.... Yum.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Love that handwritten recipe from Aunt Lola Ray...priceless. Maybe I'll even attempt to make pie crust with her recipe. So much deliciousness here...
ReplyDeleteHard to believe Thanksgiving is almost here
ReplyDeleteOh, Yum! That is the same recipe that we got in Home Ec class back in the 60s. I wonder if that was the standard crust. My mother always used LARD for her crusts and they were the best I have ever had. They always came for Aunt Mary's (my mom) pie. That crumble looks delicious and so does that cranberry pecan pie. oh my! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh I think I will make the pecan for my neighbor. He mows our grass. Well actually it's weeds.
ReplyDeleteAll I have to do is keep him in pies!
This weeks link is up. Come over and bring the pies!

Oozing yum-ness!
Jeepers, I'm hungry now. Thanks for sharing the recipe for the cranberry pecan pie- I think I might give that one a try.
