Filling 2 red apples, 1 green apple, 1 pear, 1/4 cup dried full Carragheen, 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice, 1 tbs grated lemon zest, 1 tbs cornstarch, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup fresh cranberries

Pulse several times until butter is evenly distributed and mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg and pulse once or twice until just incorporated, then pulse in enough cream to bring dough together. Remove dough from food processor and press together into one mass.
- Divide dough into 2 uneven pieces, about two-thirds and one-third. Form each into ball, and flatten each ball into thick disk. Place each disk between 2 sheets of wax paper, and roll until about 1/8 inch thick. Ease larger circle into 9- or 10-inch pie pan and trim edges. Cut smaller circle into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
- Preheat oven to 375F or 190C
Filling
- Slice apples and pear thinly. Transfer to bowl and drizzle with lemon or limejuice and toss with grated lemon zest. Combine cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugars and salt in bowl, sprinkle onto fruit and toss to coat.
