Rosy Raspberry Pear Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray, arrange pears. In a saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and ginger. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil; pour over pears. Top with oranges., Cover and bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until pears are tender. Serve warm. Garnish with cinnamon sticks if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Place 1 pie crust in 9-inch glass pie pan as directed on box for one-crust filled pie. Reserve second crust for cutouts.
• In large bowl, gently mix pears, lemon juice and almond extract. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar and the flour. Spoon about half of pear mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with raspberries. Spoon remaining pear mixture over raspberries.
• Remove second pie crust from pouch; place flat on cutting board. With floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 9 rounds from second pie crust. Brush each with melted butter. Place 8 rounds, butter side up, in circle on outer edge of fruit, overlapping as necessary. Place 1 round in the center. Sprinkle rounds with 1 tablespoon.
• Bake 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. After 15-20 minutes of baking, cover crust edges with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool completely, about 3 hours. If desired serve with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• To prepare the pie shell, divide the ball of dough in half, setting one half to the side. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Set the pie shell to the side while you make the filling.
• To prepare the filling, in a large bowl, mix together the pears, the raspberries, 3/4 cup sugar, the lemon juice, and the lemon zest and let the ingredients sit for 5 minutes to bring out the juices. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit and toss until the fruit is thoroughly coated. Place the fruit mixture in the pie shell, distributing it evenly. Dot the filling with the butter.
• To prepare the top crust, roll out the second half of the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Fold the dough circle in half and place it over the filling, with the straight line of the half circle running down the middle of the pie. Unfold the circle so that the entire pie is covered. Using your thumb and index finger, crimp the edges of the pie together to seal in the filling, and then use a fork to puncture the top of the pie 5 or 6 times. Brush the top of the pie and crimped edges with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for approximately 35 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool and set for 1 1/2 hours before serving.
