2/3

1/2

Crust
1
cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/4
cup butter or margarine, softened
2

1
tablespoon cornstarch
1/8

  • 1 Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix oats, 1/2 cup Bisquick mix and the brown sugar. Cut in 1/4 cup firm butter with fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly; set aside.

Expert Tips

Pears rock hard? To speed up the ripening process, place them in a paper bag with an apple. Pierce the bag in several places with the tip of a knife, and leave at room temperature.

Serve this streusel-topped pie warm topped with slices of Cheddar cheese cut into pear or heart shapes.

This is one of my favorite pies to make in the summer. I use dried cranberries instead of raisins. I also increase the nutmeg and ginger to a 1/2 teaspoon. I have friends who are diabetic and have used a sugar substitute. The results have been wowed over!

This is the easiest pie to make! I made it with a refridgerated pie crust and it was still very tasty! Next time I'll add dried cranberries too.
