Ingredients

Pie Dough: 

Sour Cherry Filling:

Crisp Topping:

Directions

  1. For the pie dough: Mix together the flour, sugar and salt, and then combine with the butter in a food processor until the butter is in pea-size crumbles. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Add ice water into the dough by hand or in a food processor until the dough is hydrated and can be smooshed (with a little force) into a ball. 
  3. For the sour cherry filling: Mix together the cherries, pears, sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt. 
  4. For the crisp topping: Mix together the flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, salt and eggs until just combined. 
  5. For assembly: Roll out the dough and press into a large pie plate. Fill the dough with the sour cherry filling, and then press the crisp topping on top of the fruit. Bake for 30 minutes.
