Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º. Roll out dough for bottom crust; place in a 9-inch pie plate. Press to fit without stretching dough; trim edges until even with pie plate.

Combine pears, apples, sugars, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, lemon juice and cornstarch in a large bowl. Spoon into prepared pie crust.

Roll out dough for top crust. Place onto filled pie or cut into strips to create a lattice top. Trim 1/2 inch beyond the edge and fold under bottom crust edge to seal. Crimp and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust or prick with a fork to allow steam to escape (if not lattice top). Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
