Pear Pie With Lattice Crust

Pear Pie With Lattice Crust

Diana Rattray
A delicious spiced pear pie.

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • pastry for 2-crust pie
  • 5 peeled, sliced fresh pears
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces

Preparation:

Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Add the sliced pears. Combine sugar, flour, lemon peel, and seasonings; sprinkle over the pears. Drizzle with the lemon juice then dot with the butter. Make a lattice top; flute edges. Cover edge of pie with a strip of foil. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake about 10 minutes longer.

*To make a lattice top crust, cut rolled out dough into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange 5 to 6 dough strips across top of filling. Form the lattice by arranging more dough strips at right angle to first set of dough strips, weaving the strips if you wish. Trim dough strips even with the overhang on bottom crust. Tuck ends of dough strips and overhang under; press to seal then crimp the edges.

Excellent Pear Pie Recipe!October 21, 2009By ALGH2960
"I used about 6 pears for a deep dish pie. This was a wonderful pie that my family loved! Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - it was excellent! I also sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on the top of the pie as well and cut out small leaves with a cookie cutter and placed on top of the lattice. It was very pretty! I would definitely recommend this dish!!!"
