- For Crust: Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in butter and cream cheese till coarse meal forms. With machine running, pour just sufficient water down feed tube to create moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerateat least 1 hour. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)
- For Filling: Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt in large bowl.
- Fold in pears, prunes and figs. Sprinkle brandy over and mix well. Let stand 15 min to allow juices to create.
- Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400 F. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round.
- Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish; gently press dough into place. Spoon filling into crust, mounding slightly in center. Roll out second dough disk on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round. Drape dough over filling. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch.
