Rustic Cranberry Cheesecake Pie ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #dessert #recipe

Rustic Cranberry Cheesecake Pie

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the cinnamon graham cracker crust:

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the filling:

  • 2 8-oz packages of light cream cheese, softened
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce (recipe here)

For the top:

  • About 1 cup fresh cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon till well mixed. Press into a large pie pan to make an even layer all on the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Set the pie pan in the oven and let it bake for about 8 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
  2. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Mix together the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla and cranberry sauce until it’s all mixed up well and beautifully smooth (except for the berries from the cranberry sauce).
  3. When the crust is done, reduce the oven heat to 350 F. Pour the filling mixture into the crust and sprinkle with fresh cranberries. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until when you lightly jiggle the pie, the cheesecake is set in the middle.
  4. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool before eating it. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
