Directions

1 Heat oven to 425°F. Place 1 pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust-Filled Pie.
2 Unroll second crust on work surface. With floured 2 1/2- to 3-inch and 1- to 1 1/2-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutters, cut 3 leaf shapes of each size from crust. Set aside. Cut remaining crust with scissors to resemble crumb topping. In small bowl, mix 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup walnuts; stir in cut-up crust.
3 In 3-quart saucepan, place 3/4 cup brown sugar, the white chocolate chips and syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in half-and-half and eggs until well blended. Stir in cranberries, 3/4 cup walnuts and the raisins. Pour mixture into crust-lined plate. Sprinkle with cut-up crust mixture; top with leaf cut outs.
4 Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; bake 20 minutes. Remove foil; reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 20 minutes longer. Cool at least 2 hours before serving.

I made this for our Thanksgiving potluck at work. It was delicious! Everyone loved it! It was a nice change from the traditional pecan pie. My only suggestion is that you either mix the eggs with the half & half or mix the eggs in quickly, because you don't want scrambled eggs in the pie mixture. Will definitely be making this again!
