This homemade Apple Pear Crumb Pie is unbelievably good. The walnuts can be left out, or pecans can be substituted in their place if you like. I personally prefer walnuts to complement the cranberries in this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 refrigerated pie crust, brought to room temperature
- 3/4 C sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 3 C tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 C pears, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 C sweetened dried cranberries
- 1/2 C all purpose flour
- 1/4 C brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/4 C cold butter
- 1/2 C walnuts, chopped
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and cornstarch. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and toss to combine. Gently fold in the apple and pear slices. Add the dried cranberries and gently mix together.
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Heat the oven temperature to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until mixture becomes a crumbly texture. Add the nuts and toss to combine. Place the fruit mixture into the pie crust. Add the crumble topping to completely cover the pie. Cover the pie loosely with a piece of aluminum foil. Bake 55 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking an additional 10 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serves 8.
