FRENCH PEAR PIE

Fruit pies always make a good dessert, I think. Based on the reviews, I don't think any changes are necessary for this adopted recipe. The reviewer's suggestion of lemon juice instead of orange juice is a great idea if you're like me and always have lemons or lemon juice but rarely keep orange juice in the house.

DETHBERT'S PEAR PIE



Dethbert's Pear Pie image

I've made these pies 4 or 5 times at this point, and I still can't decide if they are merely interesting or the greatest thing ever. I will update this after the 10th making. If you are unfamiliar with pears, read up on them. Usually they need to ripen for several days once they've been purchased from the store.

Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups finely shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 cup butter, softened
⅔ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
10 large pears, peeled and thinly sliced
2 unbaked 9-inch pie crusts

Steps:

  • Sift flour, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir grated Cheddar cheese into the flour mixture using a fork. Stir in butter using a wide spoon until mixture becomes crumbly. Set topping mixture aside at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place pie crusts in their tins onto a baking sheet to catch drips; place crusts 1 inch apart.
  • Sift sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a small bowl. Place pears in a large mixing bowl. When oven is hot, sprinkle sugar mixture over pears and stir to combine. Pour filling evenly into the 2 pie crusts. Divide topping mixture in half and add to the top of each pie in 4 to 6 dollops; use a wide knife to spread evenly.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 18 minutes; the pears will produce a lot of liquid and will bubble over. Check pies and cover with aluminum foil if crust or topping is getting dark. Bake about 7 minutes more.

3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • Preheat oven to 350*F In a medium sized bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Mix well Add diced pears to sugar mixture and mix gently until well coated. Roll pie crust out. Using a bowl as a pattern that is approximately 4 - 5 inches in diameter, cut out round circles for your hand pies. Reroll excess dough to create more crusts. Place crusts onto a lined baking sheet. Place a small amount of pears in the center of one cut pie crust - leaving approximately 1/2 inch space around sides. Dot pear mixture with a small amount of butter. Sprinkle with few drops of lemon juice. In a small bowl beat egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush egg around the edge of the circle. This will act as a glue.

Place on a lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pears: Use firm, ripe pears that are not too soft or bruised. Bosc, Anjou, and Bartlett pears are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the pears carefully: Use a sharp knife to peel the pears, and then use a melon baller or a paring knife to core them. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the pears.
  • Use a variety of spices: In addition to cinnamon and nutmeg, you can also add other spices to your pear pie, such as ginger, cardamom, or allspice.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Overcooking the pie will make the crust tough and the filling mushy.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the pie to hold its shape. You can serve the pie warm or cold, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:
