2 eggs, lightly beaten 4 heaping tablespoons flour 4 Tablespoons melted butter
Directions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 F.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar, 2 lightly beaten eggs, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 4 heaping tablespoons flour, 6 tablespoons milk (or half and half) and 4 tablespoons melted butter.
Step 3: With an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Step 4: Roll out 1 disk of pie dough and press into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim off any excess dough around the edges. Pour the brown sugar mixture into the pie shell.

you re folding up the pie dough and not dealing it with putting it in the pan, et cetera, it s super easy. you just roll out your pie dough, put the filling inside, slap it up. what s in the filling? pears and cranberries and what else? a little bit of cinnamon. okay. i want to go back to this cause we didn t talk exactly how you do this. this is the beginnings of that. correct. what did you do to put around the outside of it? season it really well with salt and pepper. you put it in a pan, get some color on it. once you have some nice sear to it, you just grab some mustard, just put the mustard on top, all throughout. pop it in the oven? and that s it. for how long? you re going to do it at a very high heat, just continue getting that really beautiful color. for about 40 minutes. lower it to really low, like 275 an hour, done.
so please tell us how we go about this. we ll make our pie dough and just take our dry ingredients and rake in our butter until it s nice and sandy. just blending the butter and flour? you can do this by hand or if you have a stand mixer. that makes it a little easier. once you have the butter all in there and it looks sandy and crumbly, add in your sour cream. until we get a nice dough going? nice firm dough. this is what the dough will look like after you rolled it out. put it in your pan. just roll it on your rolling pin. put your pin underneath. you are a professional. that looks great. this goes in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 350. we ll make the streusel next. brown sugar, all purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda and melted butter. this is what strudel is? that s it. wow.
to be clear, she s the baker. i m just wearing the hat. let s do it. we re going to use two cups of flour, teaspoon of salt. pie dough is no joke. anybody can make a good filling but not everybody can make a good pie crust. this is the end all, be all. this is the crisco. you want to get it so it s like pea sized shape. keep everything cold. put the crisco in the refrigerator. put the dough in the fridge and let it sit for an hour. this is the moment. i can never get it in the pie dish without it falling apart. you can t be intimidated. just flip it over. this is very stressful. excellent. now crimping it another story. just fold it in.
