Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Water
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 0.25 cups Rolled oats

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 3

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.

Step 6

While the pie bakes, prepare the cranberry topping. In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

To make the streusel, mix the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold, diced butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the oats.

Step 8

Once the pie has finished baking, spread the cranberry topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cranberry layer, covering it evenly.

Step 10

Bake the assembled pie for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to fully set.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled for the perfect holiday dessert!
