Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups Pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, cranberries, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly.
In another bowl, use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine the cold, cubed butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup flour, oats, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until crumbly and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit filling in the pie.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crumb topping is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
