1/3 cup plus 2 T. ice water

Pie filling ingredients

4 ½ tsp. cornstarch combined with 2 T. water
12 oz. cranberries
1 cup maple syrup
4 large Bartlet pears, peeled and sliced (slightly under ripe, not too soft, not too hard)

Directions:

Pie crust:

  2. Cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal. 
  3. Add water and stir to make a dough.

  2. Add cornstarch mixture. 
  3. Simmer until thick, 1-2 minutes; remove from heat and cool slightly, add pears.

  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown around edges.
