The problem is when you make 7 pies for Thanksgiving and you only have 8 guests, there are leftovers. You also have too many good options, so ranking them is hard. Had I made this pie as one of 2 pies, it would have been the belle of the ball. It is the age old problem of a small fish in a big pond - too many good fish.
That said, great pie. I enjoy a fruit pie, especially when it is not too juicy. As you can see, no goop in the bottom of the pie plate. It really held together well. And the crust? It called for a tablespoon of vinegar, and when I put it in, it smelled terrible. But fully baked, it was fantastic. Flaky and tasty. The pie filling was great, the pears were nice and sweet, the cranberries, tart contrast. And the crumble topping, best way to end a pie.
