Steps:
- Crust:Combine flour, salt, butter, and cream cheese in a food processor; pulse until pea-size clumps form.
- With machine running, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture just comes together when pressed in your hand. Divide in half; shape each half into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.
- Filling:Whisk together eggs and 2/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until thick and pale yellow. Whisk in flour, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a shallow saucepan, heat 1 stick butter, vanilla seeds, and ginger over medium-high until butter foams and browns, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into bowl with egg mixture, discarding solids. Whisk until well combined.
- Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until pears are soft, about 5 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes. Fold pear mixture into egg mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a scant 1/8 inch thick. Using a 5-inch round cutter or a paring knife, cut out 5 rounds. Repeat with remaining disk. Gently press rounds into 10 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin, making pleats around edges and gently pressing to seal. Fill each with 1/4 cup filling. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until crust and filling are golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer tin to a wire rack; let cool about 20 minutes. Unmold; let pies cool completely on rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

PEAR-GINGER PIE
You can thank Kathy Knapp for bringing pie back to Pie Town, New Mexico. She and her mother found the nearly deserted town during a road trip in 1995. A "for sale" sign on an old trading post read, "There used to be pie. Ain't no more." They bought the place and opened Pie-O-Neer.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Sift the flour, baking powder and fine salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter and lard with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Beat the egg yolk, vinegar and 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water in a liquid measuring cup with a fork. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and gently stir with a fork until just moistened. Gently gather into a ball, then shape into a disk on a lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers; set aside.
- Make the filling: Gently toss the pears with the lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger and flour in a bowl. Spread the marmalade on the bottom of the pie crust. Add the pear mixture, keeping the pears as flat as possible.
- Make the topping: Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until fine crumbs form. Scatter the topping over the filling and gently pat down.
- Bake the pie 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the topping is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling, about 40 more minutes (cover with foil if the topping is browning too quickly). Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
GINGERSNAP CRUMB PEAR PIE
This basic recipe was one my grandmother used for making crumble pies from fresh fruit. She simply substituted oats, gingersnaps or vanilla wafers depending on the fruit. Pear was always my favorite, and I added the ginger and caramel to give it a new twist. -Fay Moreland, Wichita Falls, Texas

PEAR-GINGER PIE
Steps:
- To make the topping, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 pinch of salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or large fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside until ready to use.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400˚F.
- In a large bowl, combine the pears, remaining sugar, remaining flour, remaining lemon zest, the ground and crystallized ginger, the currants, and 1 pinch of salt. Pour into the prepared pie crust and sprinkle evenly with the topping.
- Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F., and continue to bake for 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly around the edges, the crust is golden, and the center of the pie is tender when pierced with a knife.
- Cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
- Flaky Pie Crust Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Sprinkle 3 to 4 tablespoons water over the mixture 1 tablespoon at a time while stirring the mixture with a fork. Add enough water to make the dough cohesive. Gently gather the dough with your hands and pat it firmly into a ball. (This dough is best when rolled out immediately.)
- To roll out the dough, press it into a 7-inch circle on a sheet of plastic wrap. Place another large sheet of plastic wrap on top of the dough. Roll the dough from the center into a 12-inch circle, flipping the dough (including the plastic) once or twice while rolling. With each flip, lift the plastic wrap from the surface of the dough to let the dough stretch, and then lay it back on the dough. When finished, lift the top piece of plastic wrap off the dough. Invert the dough, holding it from the underside with the remaining plastic wrap, into a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough to mold it to the shape of the pan. Peel the plastic wrap off the dough.
- Trim the edges, leaving 1/2 inch of dough overhanging. Fold the overhanging dough under and crimp the edges to form a decorative rim. Chill until ready to use.
- Make Ahead
- Cover and refrigerate the pie for up to 5 days.
PEAR, FIG, AND WALNUT PIE
Steps:
- Bring wine, figs, and star anise to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until figs are softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer figs to a large bowl. Cook liquid over medium-high heat until reduced to a syrup, about 3 minutes; discard star anise. Pour syrup over figs.
- Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 13-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang; refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Roll out second disk to a 13-inch round. Cut out steam vent in center with a cookie cutter; refrigerate or freeze dough round and cutout until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Peel and core pears; slice into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Add pears, walnuts, lemon juice, granulated sugar, salt, and cornstarch to figs and syrup; stir until well combined. Spoon into pie plate, piling high in center. Dot with butter; lightly brush edge of dough with water. Drape second disk of dough over pin; center over filling. Gently press around filling to fit; trim dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edge of top crust under bottom one; crimp to seal. Brush water on bottom of cutout; press onto top crust. Beat egg yolk with cream; brush all over dough. Sprinkle pie generously with sanding sugar; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F, with rack in lower third.
- Transfer pie plate to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, and bake until just golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F. Bake until juices are bubbling and crust is deep golden brown, about 1 hour. If edges brown too quickly, cover with a foil ring (see page 324). Let pie cool completely on a wire rack.
GINGER-PEAR UPSIDE-DOWN PIE
I think pears deserve to have a starring role in pies more often. To showcase that mellow fruit, I came up with a spiced filling and gooey nut streusel that becomes the topping. -Marcy Kamery, Blasdell, New York
