DEEP DISH APPLE PEAR ORANGE SPICE PIE



Deep Dish Apple Pear Orange Spice Pie image

I created this pie for my love of apple and orange spice. I added cranberries, and pears. The orange zest and cranberries give this pie a little tanginess. I am not a lover of very sweet pies. I like to taste my fruit. One pie is never enough at gatherings. I decided to make it in a large baking dish. This will feed a family with leftovers. It is also large enough for a holiday gathering. Why make 2 pies? You can make one huge pie. It is a big hit in my home. Enjoy!
