cranberry pear lattice pie
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 frozen pie crusts my favorite is Trader Joe's
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 5 fresh pears about 3-4 cups sliced
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoon heavy cream for the crust
- *NOTE: simply use your favorite nondairy milk and shortening-based pie crust for a vegan pie!*
Instructions
- First, prepare the filling.
- Wash, peel, and thinly slice the pears. Place in a large bowl, and add in the cranberries, sugar, flour, and all the spices. Toss until combined.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Place one of your pie crusts in a pie dish, and pour in the prepared cranberry pear filling.
- Cut the second pie crust into strips, and arrange in lattice pattern as desired.
- Brush the pie crust with heavy cream, and sprinkle on some extra sugar.
- Bake at 400F for 55-60 minutes, until filling bubbles and crust is golden brown.
- If the crust appears to be browning too fast, cover the edges with some foil to protect them.
- Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy with some vanilla ice cream!
