Apple-Pear Crumble Pie image

I found this easy, delicious dessert in Kraft Food & Family magazine when searching for something to take to a Thanksgiving-themed potluck dinner. Everyone raved about it, and there was a lot of happiness that I had been out of pumpkin at the time, forcing me to look for something else! You can change the amount of fruit you add depending on the size of the fruit and the size of your crust- the original called for 2 apples, but I could only get 1 in my crust.

Time 55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup vanilla wafer, crushed (about 24)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 ready-to-use pie crust (1/2 of 15 oz package)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 -2 large baking apple, peeled, sliced
1 large pear, peeled, sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F
  • Prepare a crumb mixture by combining vanilla wafer crumbs, brown sugar, and butter, and mixing well.
  • Place pie crust on cookie sheet.
  • Spread cream cheese across bottom of the crust-- watch out because the dough could tear a bit, so take your time.
  • Cover cream cheese with half of the crumb mixture.
  • Combine fruit, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss to mix well.
  • Spread fruit mixture into the pie and cover with the remaining crumb mixture.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, when fruit is tender and crust is lightly browned.
  • If necessary, you can cover loosely with foil to prevent crust from getting too well done after 25 minutes.

I love the idea of using both apples and pears in this pie. It's a great way to use up fall fruit.

I'm not a huge fan of pies, but this one was really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart.

This apple pear crumble pie was a delight! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and tart, with a perfect balance of flavors. I loved the addition of the crumble topping, which added a nice crunch. My family loved it too!
