PEAR PIE


Welcome back family!


Anyone making pies for #Thanksgiving? Give this pie a try!



Ingredients:

8 to 10 BARTLETT PEARS

BROWN SUGAR to taste

1 tsp GROUND CINNAMON

1/2 to full stick cold BUTTER

2 PIE CRUST sheets

1 EGG

1 can BAKER'S JOY SPRAY (or you can use flour and a bit of butter)


Instructions:

1-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.


2-Slice the PEARS and set aside in a bowl. You can peal them before you slice if you prefer.


3-Add the BROWN SUGAR and CINNAMON to the pears and toss with a spatula to incorporate. Set aside.


4-Make your favorite PIE CRUST recipe or a store bought crust. Spray the pie dish with BAKER'S JOY or you can spread butter and sprinkle with flour. Place one of the crusts to the bottom of the pie dish. Pinch the edges of the crust to create a border.


5-Add the pears.


6-Cut the BUTTER in small squares and place it over the pears.


7- Top the pie with the second pie crust. Press the pie edges to seal.


8-Using a small knife cut slits in the top pie crust to allow the steam to escape as it cooks.


9-If you have additional pie crust use a cookie cutter design to decorate the top crust. This is optional.


10-Beat the EGG with a bit of water. Using a kitchen brush, egg wash the top pie crust.


11-Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is fully cooked thru. IMPORTANT: The cooking time is for a convection oven. If you are not using a convection oven you will need to adjust the cooking time per your ovens settings.


TIP: Cover the pie crust edges with aluminum foil so they don’t burn. Use a glass pie pan so you can check the bottom of the crust. If it’s golden brown it is done.
