Notes

Pie Crust: You can either use a storebought pie crust, or make my perfect gluten-free pie crust (also dairy-free).

Brown Sugar: I used brown sugar here, but feel free to use normal white sugar or light brown sugar too if you prefer. If you are diabetic or insulin-resistant, I highly recommend that you use Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (a 1:1 substitute for normal sugar).

Maple Syrup: I used maple syrup in this cranberry pie recipe, but feel free to use honey or agave nectar in equal quantities if you prefer.

Coconut Oil: I prefer to use refined coconut oil in my baking as it has a more neutral taste (as opposed to extra virgin coconut oil that has a stronger coconut flavor and smell). You can also use palm shortening or vegan butter in equal quantities if you want. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use normal butter instead.

Cranberries: I used fresh cranberries but if you don’t have the fresh version available, feel free to rehydrate 1 cup of unsweetened dried cranberries in hot water for at least 20 minutes (or cover dried cranberries with water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute and then let stand for 5 minutes).

Walnuts: I used walnuts because I like the combination of walnuts and cranberries, but you can also use other chopped nuts such as almonds, pecans, or cashews.
