Cheddar Pear Pie Recipe

  • FOR THE CRUMBLE
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • FOR THE PIE
  • 6 cups peeled and sliced pears
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • unbaked pie crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and Cheddar cheese. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice. Combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the pears and toss to coat.
