It just occurred to me that I've never had a pie that has more than one fruit in it. I've had dozens (if not a hundred) apple pies over the years, blueberry pie, cherry pie (not a big fan), and pies filled with other foods such as custard and pecan. But I've never had a pie that combined two fruits before.

But I plan on making this one, courtesy of Martha Stewart, the Autumn Harvest Pie. It has three fruits in it: apples, pears, and cranberries. The cranberries worry me a little bit. I'm thinking they might overwhelm the flavors of the apples and the pears, but I'm going to give this a shot. Full recipe after the jump.

Autumn Harvest Pie

7 baking apples, such as, Rome, Granny Smith, or Cortland, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
7 Bosc pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 cups (12 ounces) fresh cranberries
Pie dough
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Sugar for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper; set aside. Combine apples and pears in a large mixing bowl. Add, flour, sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice and zest, and mix. Add cranberries and toss gently. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a rough 18-inch circle about 1/8 inch think. Line a 12-inch pie dish with the dough.

Transfer apple and pear mixture into pastry-lined pan. Dot the top with butter. Fold and overlap the pastry over the fruit. Brush pastry with cream. Sprinkle sugar lightly and evenly over the top of pie. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until juices are bubbling, about 1 1/2 hours more.
