Cranberry Cream Cheese Crumb Pie combines a smooth, tangy cream cheese layer with tart cranberry topping and a buttery pecan crumb. Perfect for the holidays or any special occasion, this pie offers a balance of sweetness, texture, and flavor in every slice.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 pies (8 slices each)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 prepared 9-inch pie crusts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit pie crusts into two 9-inch pans and crimp edges. Place on foil-lined baking sheet.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, then lemon juice and orange zest. Divide evenly between crusts and smooth tops.
  3. Combine cranberry sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon gently over cream layer.
  4. Mix flour, brown sugar, and pecans. Pour melted butter over and mix until clumps form. Sprinkle over pies.
  5. Bake 55–60 minutes until topping is golden and edges are set. Tent with foil if crumbs brown too fast.
  6. Cool completely, then chill at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.

Notes

  • Swap orange zest for lemon zest and add 1 tsp lemon extract for a lemon twist.
  • Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips between cream and cranberry layers for a chocolate variation.
  • Replace pecans with 1/2 cup rolled oats for a nut-free version.
  • Add 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger to the cranberry mixture for a spicy-sweet twist.
  • Use gluten-free pie crust and flour substitute for a gluten-free version.
