  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a rough 18-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 12-inch pie dish with the dough.

  • Transfer apple and pear mixture into pastry-lined pan. Dot the top with butter. Fold and overlap the pastry over the fruit. Brush pastry with cream. Sprinkle sugar lightly and evenly over the top of pie. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees; continue to bake until juices are bubbling, about 1 1/2 hours more.

This is a glorious pie, but I have to cut the fruit in half. I am hoping some of you will share what type and size of plate you used. It cannot be only 12 inches!

The first time we had this pie, my daughter made it for us for Thanksgiving. It was to die for! Since then, it's become a family tradition to have it at whoevers house is hosting Thanksgiving dinner. The ingredients and amounts are exactly as they should be. You can't top perfection.

the recipe calls for WAY too much fruit. when i say WAY too much, i can't even begin to describe how much of an understatement that is. i ended up with enough fruit mixture for 3 pies. insane. but its in the oven now and looks like its going to turn out to be a fantastic pie. i suggest using a total of 7 apples and pears combined, instead of 7 each. maybe even less. enjoy.

My pie ended up being in between the two comments below...soupy YES but still very good. I wish I'd gotten that carmelized sauce. I had trouble finding a deep enough pie dish. I think this was part of the problem.

I made this pie last year and it was wonderful! So good that I had to search for it again to make this year for Thanksgiving. I used a mixture of the all the apples listed above, but omitted the cranberries because I wanted something closer to an apple pie. The pie was not soupy, but had a very thick caramel-like sauce that bubbled out. Everyone loved it. If you like apple pie but are turned off by the tartness, try this recipe (without the cranberries).

This was the worst pie I've ever made. It's flavorless, soupy, and had a very soggy bottom crust.
