Instructions

for the crust

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it is several inches larger than your pie pan, sprinkling lightly with a little more flour as needed. Transfer to a 9 1/2 or 10 1/2 inch deep-dish pie pan, pressing the dough into all the edges. Crimp the edges of the dough in a decorative pattern. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
2. Position a rack in the center of the oven and pre-heat the oven to 400*F. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the rack as it preheats.

for the streusel

3. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, poppy seeds, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter and molasses to combine. Drizzle the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir together with a fork until small clumps form. Chill until needed.

for the filling

4. Combine pears, cranberries, sugar, tapioca, vinegar, brandy, lemon zest, cinnamon, salt, and ginger in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Sprinkle the butter pieces over the filling and give it one or two folds with a rubber spatula. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and top with the streusel.
5. Place the pie on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375*F and bake until the filling is bubbling vigorously and the crust is baked through. 50 to 60 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
