Autumn Harvest Pie
- 7 baking apples, such as Rome, Granny Smith, or Cortland, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 7 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 3 cups (12 ounces) fresh cranberries
- Pie crust dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine apples and pears in a large mixing bowl. Add flour, sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice, and zest, and mix. Add cranberries, and toss gently. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie dough to a rough 18-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 12-inch pie dish with the dough. The excess will hang over the side.
- Transfer apple and pear mixture into pastry-lined pan. Dot the top with butter. Fold the excess dough onto the top of the fruit, creating a container kind of top-crust. You'll cinch it in places to get it just right. It shouldn't be big enough to meet in the middle, but it's fine if it does.
- Brush pastry with cream. Sprinkle sugar lightly and evenly over the top of pie. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees; continue to bake until juices are bubbling, about 1- 1 1/2 hours more, or until crust is nice and golden.
