Ingredients

  • Storebought pie crust
Filling:
  • 4 medium tart apples (peeled, cored and sliced thinly)
  • ½ cup of brown sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Topping:
  • 1-2 pears (peeled, cored and sliced thinly)
Glaze:
  • 2 teaspoons of brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons of lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9” pie plate and set aside. Roll out or press dough into a pie plate, spreading evenly, crimp edges with your fingers.
  2. Place all filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss well to coat. If liquid is pooling in the bottom of the bowl, stir in an additional tablespoon of cornstarch. Spoon filling into crust, and smooth top.
  3. Heat glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and combined, and set aside. Top filling with sliced pears in a decorative circular pattern, as pictured. Brush top liberally with glaze, cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is browning and pears are soft and golden.

Notes

  • Slice the fruit evenly: To ensure it bakes evenly.
  • Sweeten to taste: If you use sweeter apples, adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
  • Adjust the filling: We’ve essentially made an apple pie with a pear topping, but feel free to use a 50/50 mix of apple and pear in the filling, if desired.
  • Adjust the amount of cornstarch: Make sure there is no liquid pooling in the bowl of filling to avoid a soggy pie.
