"A Nantucket Cranberry Pie isn't one of the unique items Trader Joe's dreamed up. It's a real New England specialty, and it brings a bracingly tart flavor you don't often get in overly sweet holiday pies. It's not even what you might normally think of as a pie, being almost a hybrid between pastry and cake. It features a mixture of cranberries and walnuts, cooked in a cake-like batter."
"It ends up with a gooey, fruity base, much like a fruit pie filling, but with a tender, cakey top that's also flavored with almond and vanilla. Flip it over and you have a bright red holiday dessert that's perfect for adorning a holiday table, and Trader Joe's fans will tell you it's one of the best things the store sells."
