Cranberry Pear Cake

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 cups chopped peeled ripe pears
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 5 teaspoons 2% milk

• 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans, cranberries and apple pie spice; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream just until combined. Fold in pears.
3. Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with half of the pecan mixture; top with remaining batter and pecan mixture.
4. Bake at 350u0b0 for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. In a small bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cake.
