- To prepare crust, lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour and salt in a bowl; cut in 3 tablespoons butter and shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add enough ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until dough is moist. Gently press dough into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap, and cover with additional plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.

- To prepare filling, combine pear and cranberries in a large bowl. Add 2/3 cup sugar and next 5 ingredients (through nutmeg), tossing well to combine. Spoon pear mixture into crust.
- To prepare topping, lightly spoon 1/4 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, oats, and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle topping over pear filling.
