1 hour, 25 minutes

1. Place cream cheese and butter out to soften. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon), then juice (2 tablespoons). Place 1 cup cranberries in bowl with corn syrup and stir to coat; add 1 cup granulated sugar and stir to coat. Transfer cranberries and any sugar in bowl to airtight container; chill until ready to use.
2. Unroll 1 pie crust and place in deep 9-inch pie dish; trim crust, leaving 1/4-inch overhang. Chill until ready to use.
3. Place in large bowl: cream cheese, eggs, remaining 2 cups granulated sugar, and butter; beat with electric mixer on MEDIUM-HIGH 3 minutes or until smooth. Add flour, vanilla, lemon zest and juice, and salt; beat 2 minutes more. Stir remaining 3 cups cranberries gently into batter.
4. Pour batter into crust; unroll remaining dough for top crust and place on filled pie. Trim dough to 1/4 inch beyond edge. Fold top crust under bottom crust and seal edges by pinching or crimping with a fork; brush top crust lightly with water and sprinkle with raw sugar.
5. Cut a few slits in top crust to allow steam to escape; chill 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pie dish on baking sheet (for ease in handling); bake 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F. Bake 35–40 more minutes until crust is firm and golden and center is 160°F. Cool completely on wire rack; garnish with sugared cranberries. Serve.
