• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim edge; flute edge.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour and salt. Stir in cranberries and walnuts. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, butter and vanilla until blended; stir into cranberry mixture. Pour into crust.
3. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes if necessary to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack.
