Cranberry walnut pie is tart but sweet, fruity, nutty, and absolutely festive. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Even my walnut-hating husband liked it. I’m calling that a win!

It’s no secret that I like to make food look fancy. My lattice on this pie is subtly different. Did you catch it? I used two strips of pie dough that were much thicker than the others to add a little bit of interest. Give it a try and add a little bit of extra fanciness.
