Pear Crumble Pie

Fruit pies are one of my weaknesses. And to be honest I had never really tried a pear pie until I found this recipe. It is definitely one of my favorites and it's very easy to make!

Pear Crumble Pie
serves 8

1 9-inch pre-made pie crust

Filling:
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
5-6 sliced, peeled, firm pears

Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a bowl mix together sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon and toss pears into mixture to coat for filling.
• In another bowl, combine sugar, flour and spices for topping. Add butter until crumbly lumps are the size of peas.
• Pour filling into pie crust then evenly pour topping onto the pie.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. (Coving edges with foil for the first 30 minutes helps keep edges from burning).
