Pie Number 4 - Cranberry Pear Crisp Pie

So I had originally had picked the Out of this World pie for this week but I got some feedback from friends and they said they needed some fall type pies.  So I picked Cranberry Pear Crisp Pie.  This pie may not be one of my favorites because I do not really care for pears and I am not all that fond of cranberries, but I will try anything once.

The recipe is from my Taste of Home Best Loved Pies recipe book.  Shoot me an email if you would like the full recipe.

I also made my own crust for this pie.  I have been making one type of crust for years and Jason really likes it.  Last week I tried a Paula Deane recipe for my pie crust and Jason didn't really care for it so back to the original.

I used my slicer to slice the pears the same way I slice my apples for the apple pie and I really like the results.

After mixing all ingredients I put them into the unbaked crust and sprinkled on the topping.  The recipe says to cover the crust with foil.  I have to say I hate doing this because I can never get it to stay in place.  The pie is in the oven but I will be back later to post how it taste!

Next weeks pie will be a Chocolate Silk Pie.  This has always been a favorite of mine, also a good friend requested it!
