each, peeled, cored and quartered

 

juice

3

Granny Smith Apples, about 8 ounces

1/4

cup real maple syrup

 

each, peeled, cored and quartered

 

(not pancake syrup)

juice of 1 lemon

1-1/2

teaspoons vanilla

4tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the pastry to fit a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Lift carefully, using a dough scraper to help lift the pastry. Loosely fold the dough in half, then into quarters to form a wedge shape. Position the point of the wedge in the center of the pie plate and carefully unfold the dough into the pan. Make sure there are no air pockets between the dough and the pan. (If any tears in the crust occur, mend them by brushing lightly with water and pinching together, or patching with a scrap of rolled dough.) Trim evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Insert the slicing disc. Arrange the pear quarters in the large feed tube and slice. Repeat until all the pears are sliced. Transfer to a bowl and toss gently with the juice of 1/2 lemon. Reserve. Arrange the apple quarters in the feed tube. Use medium pressure to slice. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the juice of 1/2 lemon. Insert the metal blade. Process the remaining lemon juice, maple syrup and vanilla to combine.

Layer half of the apples in the prepared piecrust. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 3 tablespoons of the dried cranberries. Top this with a layer of the pears sprinkled with

1 tablespoon of the flour and 3 tablespoons of the dried cranberries. Repeat both layers. Drizzle the maple syrup mixture evenly over the top of the fruit.

Roll out the remaining dough about 1/8 inch thick and about 2 inches larger than the diameter of the top of the pie plate. Brush the edges of the bottom crust with a little water. Carefully lay the top crust on the pie. Press gently to seal. Trim to the edge of the pie plate; crimp or flute decoratively. Make about 10 to 12 slits in the top crust decoratively with the tip of a very sharp knife. If desired, roll out some of the leftover crust and cut with small decorative cookie cut- ters. For this pie, you could use pears, apples and leaves. Brush the bottoms of the shapes with a little water and arrange decoratively on the top crust.

Bake the pie in the bottom third of the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, covering the edges with foil if they begin to get too browned after about 35 to 40 minutes. Let the pie rest on a cooling rack for at least an hour before serving.
