COUNTRY FRESH PEAR PIE



Country Fresh Pear Pie image

One of our family favorites and has totally taken the place of apple pie in our life! Enjoy with a scoop of good ole Bluebell Vanilla for a down home treat!

Provided by Jean Goss

Categories     Pies

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

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, firm pears. Bosc, Anjou, and Bartlett pears are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the pears before slicing them. This will help to prevent the pears from browning.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the pears evenly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the pears. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate to prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Pear pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a pear pie that is sure to impress your family and friends.
