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:

Choose ripe but firm pears: Pears that are too soft will break down during baking, while pears that are too hard will not soften enough.
Peel and core the pears carefully: Use a sharp knife to peel the pears, and be sure to remove the core completely.
Slice the pears thinly: This will help them to cook evenly.
Use a combination of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic pear pie spices. You can also add a pinch of cardamom or allspice for extra flavor.
Don't overfill the pie crust: The pears will release a lot of liquid as they bake, so it's important to leave some room for expansion.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Country Fresh Pear Pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and juicy filling, and warm spices, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give Country Fresh Pear Pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
