Everything Thanksgiving: Get all our Thanksgiving recipes, how-to’s and more!
Cranberries represent the holiday season better than any other fruit. No Thanksgiving feast would be complete without the requisitecranberry sauce. And they’re pretty much the best part of any Thanksgiving leftover sandwich. But cranberries can do more than accompany turkey — their unique tart flavor and ruby red color turn any standard dessert into a stunning one.
Simply simmered with sugar and water, cranberries make a beautiful topping on top of cakes. You can also bake them into pies, tarts, cakes and cobblers ― you basically can’t go wrong, and we’ve got the recipes to prove it.

Baking Steels For Making The Perfect Pies
The Original Baking Steel(01 of 06)
This U.S.-made, “virtually indestructible” baking steel measures 16 inches by 14.25 inches and weighs a hefty 16 pounds. It can be used in home ovens and over grills and campfires. It comes pre-seasoned and was developed by a man whose family has been in the steel business for more than 40 years. (credit: The Original Baking Steel)
NerdChef Steel Stone(02 of 06)
The two holes at the corners of this baking steel make it easier to handle as you’re moving it in and out of the oven. It measures 14.5 inches by 16 inches and is a quarter-inch thick. The NerdChef Steel Stone boasts a low-friction surface that’s textured, sanded smooth and pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil. (credit: Amazon)
De Buyer Blue Steel Pizza Pan(03 of 06)
This round pan comes in three sizes and a perforated option for each size, and can be used for pizza (for a crispy, perfectly golden crust), tarts, roasted vegetables, pie and more. It’s made of 100% blue steel, which gets darker and more nonstick with every use. For an extra crispy pizza crust, go for the perforated version, but the non-perforated pan has more versatile applications. (credit: Food52)
Sur La Table Baking Steel(04 of 06)
A Sur La Table exclusive, this baking steel is made of 100% recycled steel and is heat-safe up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much more than you’ll need for baking pie crust, but still impressive. The manufacturer claims the quarter-inch steel won’t shatter or crack, and it’s easy to clean up with some gentle soap and warm water. (credit: Sur La Table)
9-inch aluminized steel pie pan(05 of 06)
These (and the next set, too) are similar to the pans that Baldwin suggests using with baking steels. (credit: Amazon)
