Do you like cranberry sauce or have leftover cranberry sauce? Make my Cranberry Sauce Pie!
Cranberry sauce is one of my favorite holiday dishes. I usually make a big portion of it so we can eat it for several days. To use up some of our leftover cranberry sauce, I decided to make a Cranberry Sauce Pie. The pie is made of three layers: gingersnap crust, cream cheese filling and topped with cranberry sauce.
To make the gingersnap crust, I put gingersnap cookies in my little single serve blender to make them into a sand consistency. In a bowl, I combine melted butter and the cookie crumbs. Then I press the mixture into my Good Cook Nonstick 9 in. Pie Pan pie pan that I received. I bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes and let cool.
For the filling, I mix together cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract in my stand mixer until smooth. Then I gradually add in confectioners’ sugar. I spread the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled crust. Then top with my leftover cranberry sauce.
Cranberry Sauce Pie is easy to make and a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce.

This looks/sounds amazing! I have to try it, even though I will probably be the only one to eat it!

It tasted great. The cream cheese filling sweetens up the cranberry sauce flavor.

I think this looks wonderful…and although I like my cranberries a bit on the tart side, I’ve never thought to use them for a pie… this is definitely a must do for the holiday dinners we have coming up!
