If you are an apple pie aficionado I encourage you to try pear pie at least one time, or in your apple pie recipe, substitute two pears in place of two apples. Pears are so delicately flavored and I love the texture they bring to a pie. Pear pie is my favorite pie of ALL TIME! I enjoy baking pies but sometimes I just don’t have hours to prepare what most people think a proper crust to be. A proper crust to most people would involve cutting in various fats like shortening, butter or lard into a dry mixture, adding liquid, shaping into a disk, chilling and rolling out. The crust used in this recipe is delicious and so easy, a kindergartner can do it! All the crust ingredients go in a bowl, get tossed around and incorporated then pressed into a pie plate- easy as that! This pie boasts a melt-in-your-mouth pear filling, a flaky crust and delicious crumble topping and is the perfect addition to your fall dinner spread. This is a beginner-approved pie baking recipe! Just like apple pie, but better! Suitable for beginners with an easy crust recipe.
