I take this pie to lots of different gatherings, and I make sure to have copies of the recipe with me since people always ask for it. It's amusing to see some folks puzzling over what's in the filling - they expect apples but love the subtle sweetness of the pears. -Cynthia LaBree, Elmer, New Jersey Ingredients:
4 large ripe pears, peeled and thinly sliced |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 frozen pie shell (9 inches) |
topping: |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the pears, sugar, cornstarch and salt; toss gently to coat. Pour into pie shell.
2. For topping, combine the cheese, flour, sugar and salt; stir in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling.
3. Bake at 425° for 25-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Cool on a wire rack for 15-20. Serve warm. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 6-8 servings.
