The perfect balance of sweetness and acidity in a pie that's as pretty as it is delicious.

Ingredients:

• Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 cups sliced peeled fresh pears
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• Topping:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, syrup and butter until smooth. Add pears and cranberries; toss to coat. Spoon into crust.
2. For topping, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over filling.
3. Cover edges of crust loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to 350°. Remove foil; bake 35-40 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
