How To Make cheddar cheese pear pie
-
Step 1Defrost pie shell. Preheat oven to 425. Peel, core and slice pears. Toss with lemon juice. Add cornstarch, sugar and salt to pears and toss until coated. Place in pie shell.
-
Step 2In small bowl add cheese, flour, sugar and salt. Stir together. Add melted and cooled butter and stir with a fork. Add to top of pears in an even layer.
-
Step 3Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. I place pie on cookie sheet (in case it bubbles over)
-
Step 4Cool on wire rack. I prefer it cooled completely, but my husband likes it warm with vanilla ice cream.
-
Step 5After you place pie on rack, sprinkle with handful of cheese. It will melt with residual heat.
