Pear and Cranberry Crumble Pie Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust pie using 9-inch pie plate.

2. Mix granulated sugar, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon of the allspice in large bowl. Add pears and cranberries; toss to coat well. Spoon evenly into crust.

3. Mix flour, brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon allspice in small bowl. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle evenly over fruit in crust. Place pie on large baking sheet.

4. Bake 1 hour or until pears are tender and topping is lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.Test Kitchen Tip: For best results, use firm, ripe pears that just yield to gentle pressure.

Apple and Cranberry Crumble Pie: Prepare as directed. Use 6 apples, cored, peeled and sliced, in place of the pears.

Ginger Pear and Cranberry Crumble Pie: Prepare as directed. Omit cinnamon and allspice. Use 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Ginger in the pear mixture and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger in the crumb topping
