After being in Germany for three years, a lot of American things seem really sweet. Germans use a lot less sugar, in fruity desserts they rely more on the natural sugar found in the fruit. In other things they just add less sugar. The tartness of this pie makes it a nice contrast to the usual sweet desserts you find around Thanksgiving. Plus cranberries have a ton of health benefits like antioxidants(more information about the benefits here). Depending on you taste, you may want to top your pie

For the Pie:
1 ready to bake pie crust
3 cups fresh cranberries, berries cut in half
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans

For the Top “Crust”
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Combine the cranberries, brown sugar and pecans. Pour into the pie crust. Combine the egg, sugar, flour and butter. Pour over the cranberry mixture. You may have to spread it...
