This is such an easy-to-make pie. The only real work is in coring and slicing the pears, or mixing up the crust if you make your own. I use a refrigerated pie crust--I find them to be just as good as homemade in most cases.

How to Make DEEP-DISH PEAR/CRANBERRY PIE

Step-by-Step

In a very large bowl combine sugar, flour, nutmeg and ginger. Add pear slices and cranberries; toss gently to coat.
Transfer mixture to an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish or casserole.
Roll out the pastry dough and place on top of baking dish. Crimp edges and make slits in top. May brush top of crust with a little milk and sprinkle with some sugar.
Bake in a 375-degree oven, uncovered, for 55 to 60 minutes or until pear mixture is bubbly.
Cool pie about 30 minutes and serve warm.
