CHEDDAR PEAR PIE

Ingredients

• FOR THE CRUMBLE
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup butter

• FOR THE PIE
• 6 cups peeled and sliced pears
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• unbaked pie crust

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and Cheddar cheese. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice. Combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the pears and toss to coat.
