Spread evenly into crust., In a small bowl, mix cranberry layer ingredients; spoon over cream cheese mixture.

CRANBERRY CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Place pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook cranberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally, until some have begun to split and burst, 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid. Remove from heat and let cool (if you're in a rush, transferring to a baking sheet or medium bowl will help them cool faster).
• Combine sugar and salt in a large bowl, then add lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub zest into sugar until moist and fragrant. Whisk in cornmeal and flour, then add eggs and vigorously whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds, Whisk in cream, butter, and vanilla, then add lemon juice and whisk again. Set a few cranberries aside for the top. Gently fold in remaining cranberries with a rubber spatula, breaking up any clumps.
• Gently pour mixture into pie crust and dot reserved cranberries over top of custard (this makes for the most photo-worthy dessert). Bake pie until top is golden brown and set but custard still jiggles in the center (about a 3" radius), 60-70 minutes. If your pie isn't as brown as you'd like it, you can increase oven temperature to 350°F for the last 5-10 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool (custard will fall as it cools). Transfer pie to the fridge and chill at least 1 hour.
• Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar if using. For the cleanest slices, cut with a hot dry knife (just like if you were cutting cheesecake).
• Do ahead: Pie can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Return to room temperature to serve if you'd like.

CRANBERRY CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor. Process a few times to combine. While pulsing, add the cubes of butter. Keep pulsing until the mixture looks like a coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons of the water and process again a few times. Add more water until the dough starts to come together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Shape into a round and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and roll out into a large round, about 12 inches. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, fold over the sides and use a fork to press a design into the edges.
• For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until uniform in color and no egg white is visible. Whisk in the sugar mixture until smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla and orange zest and whisk to combine. Add the cranberries to the bottom of the pie crust and pour the custard over the top.
• Bake until the custard is set with a slight wobble in the center, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the assembly: Sprinkle the orange slices with the sugar and use to decoratively garnish the pie before serving at room temperature or chilled.
