Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 7 tbsp ice water
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 zest orange
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh herbs (thyme and rosemary)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • tbsp turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 60 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, and orange zest.
  • Cook until the cranberries begin to burst, about 6.0 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped herbs, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch of salt. Cook for another 2.5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375.0.
  • On a floured surface, roll out one disk of the pie dough into a circle and fit it into a pie pan.
  • Pour the cooled cranberry mixture into the lined pie crust.
  • Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 37.5 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15.0 minutes before serving.
