Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 disk Pate Brisee for Pies
All-purpose flour, for surface
6 ounces fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (1 1/2 cups )
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 whole cinnamon stick
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 pounds firm, ripe pears, such as Bosc or Bartlett, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the cranberry sauce: Bring cranberries, granulated sugar, water, and cinnamon stick to a simmer in a pot. Cook until cranberries are tender and start to burst and sauce is thick, about 25 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick. Let cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the streusel: Whisk together flour, brown sugar, oats, ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers until combined and mixture resembles coarse meal with some large pieces remaining. Refrigerate.
  • Make the filling: Mix together pears, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the flour, and lemon juice. Stir in cooled cranberry sauce.
  • Transfer filling to crust; top with streusel. Bake until filling is bubbling in the center and top is golden, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The pears were soft and flavorful, and the streusel topping was crispy and buttery. I would make this again, but I would use less sugar in the streusel topping.
