Time 1h50m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 flaky pie dough
1 large egg, beaten with
1 tablespoon milk or 1 tablespoon cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
12 gingersnaps, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 lbs ripe Anjou pears (about 5, peeled, halved, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick)
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the Flaky Pie Dough to a 12-inch round and fit it into a 9-inch deep dish glass pie plate. (you can use regular but might have trouble fitting the filling) Trim the overhang to 1 inch, fold it under and crimp decoratively. Brush the rim with the egg wash and refrigerate the pie shell until chilled.
  • MAKE THE TOPPING: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, gingersnap crumbs, ginger and salt. Stir in the melted butter until large crumbs form.
  • MAKE THE FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, toss the pears with the cranberries, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla. In a small bowl, toss the sugar with the cornstarch, then stir the sugar into the fruit.
  • Pour the fruit into the chilled pie shell. Pour the gingersnap crumbs onto the pie, carefully spreading them to the edge to cover the filling completely. Set the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling; cover the pie loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly. Let cool before slicing.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved this pie! The pears and the crumb topping were amazing.

I had a hard time finding fresh pears, so I used canned pears instead. The pie still turned out great!

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This pear cranberry pie was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The combination of sweet pears and tart cranberries was perfect, and the crumb topping added a delightful crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
