Ingredients

• 315 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 170 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 60 milliliters Ice water
• 900 grams Ripe pears (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 200 grams Fresh cranberries
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 15 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 15 milliliters Lemon juice
• 50 grams Rolled oats
• 50 grams Additional all-purpose flour (for crumble)
• 50 grams Additional brown sugar (for crumble)
• 40 grams Additional unsalted butter (melted, for crumble)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until it is large enough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, trim any excess, and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, fresh cranberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 5

Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, make the crumble topping by mixing the rolled oats, additional flour, additional brown sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly and holds together when pressed.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit filling.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crumble is golden brown.

Step 9

Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
