Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
1 bottle (750 milliliters) dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 star-anise pod
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
4 to 5 firm but ripe Bosc pears, peeled, quartered, and cored
1 egg, lightly beaten
Fine sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Pate Brisee: Pulse together flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add 1/4 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream, just until dough holds together. To test, squeeze a small amount together; if it is crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more ice water, a little at a time. Do not process more than 30 seconds.
  • Turn out dough onto a clean surface; divide in half. Place each half on a piece of plastic, flatten into disks, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before using. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.
  • Filling: Combine wine, sugar, cinnamon, star anise, vanilla seeds, and cranberries in a wide saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Add pears; if not completely covered in liquid, add water as needed. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover with a round of parchment, pressing it directly on surface of pears. Simmer until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pears and cranberries to a heatproof bowl, then increase heat to high and boil liquid until reduced to 2 cups. Pour liquid over pears; refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining disk of dough to a 13-inch round. Transfer to a parchment-lined unrimmed baking sheet. Using a 1-inch petal cutter, cut out a decorative pattern in center, reserving cutouts to decorate edges. Freeze until firm, 15 minutes.
  • Remove pears and cranberries from liquid and blot dry with paper towels. Arrange pears in prepared pie dish, then add cranberries. Brush overhang with egg wash. Place top crust over filling; press edges to seal with bottom crust. Using kitchen shears, trim dough to a 1/2-inch overhang, reserving scraps. Tuck overhand under so edges are flush with rim. Brush edges with egg wash and decorate with petal cutouts, rerolling scraps to cut out more shapes as needed. Brush entire surface with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  • Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking until crust is evenly browned (if browning too quickly, tent edges with foil), 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

PEAR CRANBERRY PIE



Pear Cranberry Pie image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 9h45m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ounces vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 to 7 tablespoons cranberry juice
12 ounces all-purpose flour, about 2 3/4 cups, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 to 3 1/2-pounds pears, a mixture of Bartlett, Bosc and/or Anjou
1/2 cup sugar, divided
6 ounces dried cranberries
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 tablespoons cranberry jam
1 tablespoon cranberry juice
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For the crust
  • Place the butter, shortening and cranberry juice into the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour salt and sugar by pulsing 3 to 4 times. Add the butter and pulse 5 to 6 times until the texture looks mealy. Add the shortening and pulse another 3 to 4 times until incorporated.
  • Remove the lid of the food processor and sprinkle in 5 tablespoons of the cranberry juice. Replace the lid and pulse 5 times. Add more cranberry juice as needed, and pulse again until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Weight the dough and divide in half. Shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Peel and core the pears. Slice into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss all of the pears with 1/4 cup of the sugar, place in a colander set over a large bowl and allow to drain for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer the drained liquid to a small saucepan, place over medium heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons. Set aside to cool. Toss the pears with the remaining sugar, cranberries, tapioca flour, jam, cranberry juice, lemon juice, salt and nutmeg.
  • For assembling and baking the pie:
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove 1 disk of dough from the refrigerator. Place the dough onto a lightly floured piece of waxed paper. Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and roll out into a 12-inch circle. Place into a 9 1/2 to 10-inch tart pan that is 2 inches deep. Gently press the dough into the sides of the pan, crimping and trimming the edges as necessary. Set a pie bird in the center of the bottom of the pan. Place the pears into the unbaked pie shell in concentric circles starting around the edges, working towards the center and forming a slight mound in the center of the pie. Sprinkle the cranberries a little at a time as you go.
  • Pour over any liquid that remains in the bowl. Roll out the second pie dough as the first. Place this dough over the apples, pressing the pie bird through the top crust. Press together the edges of the dough around the rim of the pie. Brush the top crust with the reduced juice everywhere except around the edge of the pie. Trim excess dough. Place the pie on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake on the floor of the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to the lower rack of the oven and continue to bake another 20 minutes or until the pears are cooked through but not mushy. Remove to a rack and cool a minimum of 4 hours or until almost room temperature.

BERRY BEST PEAR PIE



Berry Best Pear Pie image

Cranberries and pears make tasty partners in an old-fashioned lattice-topped pie.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups sliced peeled pears (5 medium)
2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) cranberries
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball; divide pastry in half. On lightly floured surface, shape each half into flattened round. Roll one round of pastry, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate.
  • In small bowl, mix sugar, 1/3 cup flour and the cinnamon. Place pears in pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle sugar mixture over pears. Top with cranberries. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over filling.
  • Roll other round of pastry; cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide. To make lattice top, place about 7 strips across filling in pie plate. Weave a cross-strip through center by first folding back every other strip of the first 7 strips. Continue weaving, folding back alternate strips before adding each cross-strip, until lattice is complete. (To save time, place second half of strips crosswise across first strips instead of weaving.) Trim ends of strips. Fold trimmed edge of bottom pastry over ends of strips. Press edge with fork.
  • In small bowl, mix egg white and 1 teaspoon water; brush on lattice pastry top. Cover edge of pastry with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through lattice crust.

STREUSEL TOPPED PEAR AND BLUEBERRY PIE



Streusel Topped Pear and Blueberry Pie image

Categories     Berry     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Blueberry     Pear     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling:
2 pounds firm but ripe pears (about 5 medium), peeled, cored, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
9 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
Pinch of salt
2 1/4 cups frozen blueberries
6 tablespoons all purpose flour
Walnut-Streusel Topping

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend all purpose flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add chilled butter pieces and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edges under, forming high-standing rim 3/4 inch above dish sides; crimp edges decoratively. Freeze crust 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until light golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool while preparing filling. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For filling:
  • Combine pear pieces, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice and salt in large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until pears are tender but still hold their shape, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Transfer pear mixture to large bowl; cool to room temperature. Add blueberries, flour and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar to pears; toss gently to blend.
  • Transfer filling to cooled pie crust, mounding filling slightly in center. Sprinkle with Walnut-Streusel Topping. Bake pie until juices bubble thickly, fruit is tender and streusel topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Cool pie on rack until lukewarm. Cut pie into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crumble topping, use a combination of flour, oats, butter, and sugar. The oats will add a nutty flavor and texture, while the butter will help the topping brown and crisp up.
  • To prevent the pears from browning, toss them with a mixture of lemon juice and water before adding them to the pie filling.
  • If you don't have any fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • To make the pie ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe instructions and then let it cool completely. Once it's cool, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This crumbleberry pear pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
