How to Make Fresh Pear And Cranberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust (using the recipe below or your favorite pre-made crust). Roll it out to a 13-inch circle and place it in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  3. Peel, core, and slice 4 medium pears. Arrange half of the pear slices in the prepared pie crust.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries evenly over the pears.
  5. Arrange the remaining pear slices on top of the cranberries.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup apple cider, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  7. Pour the sugar mixture evenly over the pears and cranberries.
  8. Cover the pie with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil.
  11. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar over the top.
  12. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the juices are bubbly.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  14. While the pie is cooling, prepare the cranberry topping: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and 2 tablespoons caramel topping.
  15. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, or until cranberries are softened.
  16. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  17. Spoon the cranberry topping evenly over the cooled pie.
  18. Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with additional caramel topping, if desired.
  19. Makes 8 servings.
