Brie and cranberry crinkle pie is a festive dessert that perfectly balances the creamy richness of Brie cheese with the tartness of fresh cranberries. Wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust topped with a crinkled sugary surface, this pie offers a delightful sweet and savory experience ideal for holiday gatherings or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar, plus extra for topping
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Crust

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, chilled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Roll out your chilled pie dough and fit it gently into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming the edges and crimping them for that classic look. Chill the crust for 15 minutes to ensure a crisp finish after baking.
  2. Make the filling: Cut Brie into small cubes and combine it with fresh cranberries, sugar, beaten eggs, lemon zest, and optional cinnamon. Mix gently to maintain some cranberry integrity for bursts of tartness.
  3. Fill the pie shell: Spoon the Brie and cranberry mixture into the prepared crust evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a little sugar over the surface to help create the signature crinkle effect.
  4. Bake to perfection: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes or until the filling is set and the top has formed those delightful sugary crinkles. Allow it to cool before slicing for the best texture and flavor development.

Notes

  • Chill the dough before baking to ensure a flaky crust.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep textures intact and prevent cranberries from turning mushy.
  • Use fresh cranberries for best tartness and structure during baking.
  • Watch baking time carefully to keep the filling creamy and avoid dryness.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing to develop flavor and texture.
