Steps:
- 1. Defrost pie shell. Preheat oven to 425. Peel, core and slice pears. Toss with lemon juice. Add cornstarch, sugar and salt to pears and toss until coated. Place in pie shell.
- 2. In small bowl add cheese, flour, sugar and salt. Stir together. Add melted and cooled butter and stir with a fork. Add to top of pears in an even layer.
- 3. Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. I place pie on cookie sheet (in case it bubbles over)
- 4. Cool on wire rack. I prefer it cooled completely, but my husband likes it warm with vanilla ice cream.
- 5. After you place pie on rack, sprinkle with handful of cheese. It will melt with residual heat.
Tips:
- Use ripe pears for the best flavor. Bosc and Bartlett pears are good choices.
- Peel and core the pears before slicing them.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the pears so they are uniform in thickness.
- Don't overcrowd the pie crust with pears. You want them to be able to cook evenly.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
Conclusion:
Cheddar pear pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new and exciting pie recipe, give cheddar pear pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
