Every year, my mom orders us some Harry and David pears. They are always so delicious! But the three of us usually can't eat them fast enough. She usually orders a box of 9 and they all ripen at the same time. We usually just cut them up or throw them in a salad but this year we wanted to try to make something different. We made a pear pie.
INGREDIENTS:
-two pie crusts
-1/2 cup sugar
-3 tablespoons flour
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 teaspoon lemon zest
-1 tablespoon butter
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
-5 cups peeled and sliced pears (about three* large pears)
*We used rather large pears...okay, REALLY large pears. Harry and David pears are gigantic! See below for size comparison.
I mean, I do not have a small cat. He may even be a bit...chubby. It's a big pear!
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl.
2. Line a 9 inch pie pan with one crust. Arrange pears in layers in pan, sprinkling sugar mixture over each layer. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Roll out remaining dough; cut slits for steam. Moisten rim of bottom crust. Place top crust over filling. Fold edge under bottom crust, pressing to seal. Flute edge.
3. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 35 to 40 minutes.
OMG this pie was so yummy! I was very sad when it was gone :( The flavors were similar to an apple pie but there was a slight difference that I really enjoyed. I think we'll have to make this again next year!
