Prep
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
Make Cream Cheese Filling

  2. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
Make Cranberry Filling
  1. Combine cranberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch in a saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Let cool slightly.
Make Crumb Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, cold diced butter, and cinnamon.
  2. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until coarse crumbs form.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared pie crust.
  2. Spoon the cooled cranberry filling over the cream cheese layer.
  3. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cranberry layer.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the pie to chill completely before serving to ensure a firm set. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries for the filling.
