CRANBERRY PEAR PIE

Cranberry Pear Pie image

When our family is invited to holiday gatherings, this pie usually comes with us. The recipe is very versatile. You can make it with a double crust or replace the pears with baking apples. Serve it with ice cream or whipped topping. -Helen Toulantis, Wantagh, New York
