Apple-Pear-Cranberry Pie

Recently I began baking (and getting paid!) for a local coffee shop. I delivered a pie and a batch of biscotti about 2 weeks ago. Apparently my pie was a hit and they've been WAITING for a 2nd pie - here it is, in the works. :)
Filling: 6 apples (I usually use golden delicious or gala when baking) + 3 to 4 firm pears (like bartlett or anjou) + dried cranberries + some sugar + some fresh-squeezed lemon juice + pumpkin pie spice + a bit of flour = YUM!

While I can't claim the recipes as my own (it's my mom's pie crust recipe and I have my other inspirations for the fillings...) - What I can say however, is that everything is baked or made with a "Bree twist" and with lots o' love! :) I've made this apple-pear-cranberry pie twice now & while I'm not normally an apple pie fan, I am thinking that it may have to be one of the MANY pies we have on our Thanksgiving dessert table this year!

Here's my pie - all rolled out - (homemade crust!) and ready for the oven! Our house smells delicious right now. :)
