Thanksgiving would not be complete without pie. Of course pumpkin and apple are the most popular pies served across the US at Thanksgiving dinner, but since cranberries are traditional as part of the menu, why not include them in a delicious Cranberry Streusel Pie? The pie isn’t difficult to make, and it can be made the day before serving.
