Ingredients
Scale
16 oz cream cheese, softened
28 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 orange zest
2 cans whole berry cranberry sauce (16 oz each)
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit pie crusts into two 9-inch pans and crimp edges. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and mix until glossy. Blend in lemon juice and orange zest. Divide evenly between crusts and smooth tops.
In a bowl, combine cranberry sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon gently over cream layer, spreading evenly.
Mix flour, brown sugar, and pecans in a bowl. Pour melted butter over and mix until clumps form. Sprinkle over pies.
Bake 55–60 minutes, until topping is golden and edges are set. Tent with foil if crumbs brown too fast.
Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best) before slicing.
