Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt, then cut in the cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine cranberries, granulated sugar, water, lemon juice, and orange zest. Cook over medium heat until cranberries burst and form a sauce.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together large eggs, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and heavy cream. Stir in a small amount of additional flour for stability.
- Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a pie pan, then pour the cooked cranberry mixture into the crust.
