Apple Pear Cranberry Pie

I love this easy pie, and the combination of apple, pear, and cranberry gives this pie a cheery feeling when served on the holiday table.

Ingredients:
1 single store-bought Betty Crocker or Pillsbury pie dough mix
Fillings:
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups thinly sliced, peeled tart apples
3 cups thinly sliced, peeled ripe pears
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbs vanilla
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Toppings:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Other:
Aluminum foil
Large baking sheet
9 inch glass pie plate

Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients together.

Roll out the pie dough onto the glass pie plate. Mix all the filling ingredients in a large bowl until all are well combined. Transfer the filling onto the pie dish. Top with the filling. Cover loosely with foil. Line with a 15” x 10” piece of foil (this procedure will help to catch any juice spilled over during baking time and make the cleanup easy). Place the pie dish on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven set to 400° for about 1 hour. Remove the cover and bake for another 15 minutes or until top becomes golden brown.
