Apple-Pear Pie
The classic apple pie just got upgraded with another of our favorite fruits...pears! A slice of this delicious dessert from 101 Farmhouse Favorites is perfect paired with a hot cup of coffee after a hearty meal.
2 to 3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
29-oz. can sliced pears
1 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 T. cinnamon
2 9-inch pie crusts
Place apples and undrained pears in a large bowl. Add flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; stir to mix well. Line a 9" pie plate with one unbaked pie crust. Spoon fruit mixture into pie crust. Top with remaining pie crust and crimp edges. Cut 3 slits to vent. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 325 degrees; bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until crust is golden. Serves 8.
