03 - 0.25 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 egg yolk

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

04 - Bake the chilled crust for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
05 - Whisk together eggs, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and uniform.
06 - Distribute the cranberries evenly over the pre-baked crust, then carefully pour the custard mixture on top.
07 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the custard is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend. The pie can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
