In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, the nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Add pears, apples and lemon juice; toss to coat. Pour into crust-lined pie plate. Top with 2 tablespoons butter.

In small bowl, mix oats, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon flour. Cut in 1/4 cup butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit.

In 1-quart saucepan, melt caramels with milk over low heat until smooth; add the pecans. Drizzle over praline mixture. Top with second crust and flute; cut slits in several places. If you like, brush top with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning.
