Directions

1 Heat oven to 425°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie plate; do not prick crust. Carefully line pastry with a double thickness of foil, gently pressing foil to bottom and side of pastry. Let foil extend over edge to prevent excessive browning. Bake 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil; bake 2 to 4 minutes longer or until pastry just begins to brown and has become set. If crust bubbles, gently push bubbles down with back of spoon.
2 Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix filling ingredients. Pour into warm baked pie shell.
3 In medium bowl, mix crumb topping ingredients with pastry blender or fork until mixture looks like fine crumbs; sprinkle topping evenly over filling.
4 Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until top is light golden brown. After 30 minutes of baking, cover top of pie with foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Purchase pears ahead of time to ensure ripeness. To speed ripening, place pears in a paper or plastic bag at room temperature for several days. Pears are ready when they yield slightly when pressed.

Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

REALLY good! This pie tastes good and looks good. The pieces retain their shape on the plate so it looks just like the picture; not sloppy. It has almost a custard quality. Next time I will try adding a little cinnamon to the filling. another reviewer had trouble with making the crumb topping. I put the stick of butter (right out of the fridge), brown sugar and flour in my electric mixer and it did fine.

This pie tasted okay, but I was frustrated by the lack of directions on making the crumb topping. It says to mix together butter, brown sugar, and flour with a fork or pastry mixer until you get a fine powder, but I tried it with regular butter and melted butter and it never gave me anything resembling a fine powder or crumb topping. It turned into what I would call cookie dough, so I ended up just plopping it on top of the pie and attempted to spread it around. Not very visually appealing.

It was my first pie ever. I had some over ripened pears that I didn't want to go waste. The pie was delicious, easy to and quick to make with ingredients that were already in the fridge. I used tip from BethWhaley to make it less calories packing, and no one noticed. Next time I'll try different fruit.
