Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 qt cooked fresh pears
1 Tbsp corn starch
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 stick magarine
2 grammy's easy homemade pie shell

Steps:

1. Make two recipes for Grammy's Easy Homemade Pie Shell in my kitchen, one for the top and one for the bottom of the pie.
2. Use the Cooked Fresh Pears recipe in my kitchen. Mix all ingredients into a medium saucepan and cook until thickened. Pour into a unbaked pie shell and top with 6 or 7 slices of butter on top of pears.
3. Put top pie crust on, flute edge together, slit top several times and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour on a thin pan to catch drippings in the event it drips.
4. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream! Enjoy...

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season pears. Bosc, Anjou, and Bartlett pears are all good choices.
To prevent the pears from browning, toss them with lemon juice or vinegar before adding them to the pie filling.
If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the crust with milk or egg wash.
To prevent the pie from boiling over, place a baking sheet underneath the pie plate before baking.
Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Country Fresh Pear Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and beautiful presentation, this pie is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
