If you can't find fresh cranberries, use thawed frozen ones. A prepared pie shell yields a stellar dessert with little effort. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Ingredients:
3/4 cup regular oats |
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
dash of salt |
2 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
3 cups (1/2-inch) cubed peeled anjou pear (2 large) |
2 cups fresh cranberries |
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar |
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pastry shell |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare streusel, combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. To prepare filling, combine pear, cranberries, 2/3 cup brown sugar, and cornstarch in a large bowl; toss well to combine. Spoon pear mixture into pastry shell; sprinkle streusel over pear mixture. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until bubbly and streusel is browned. Cool at least 1 hour on a wire rack.
