Streusel Topped Pear And Blueberry Pie Recipes

STREUSEL TOPPED PEAR AND BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend all purpose flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add chilled butter pieces and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edges under, forming high-standing rim 3/4 inch above dish sides; crimp edges decoratively. Freeze crust 25 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until light golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool while preparing filling. Maintain oven temperature.
• For filling:
• Combine pear pieces, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice and salt in large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until pears are tender but still hold their shape, stirring often, about 6 minutes. Transfer pear mixture to large bowl; cool to room temperature. Add blueberries, flour and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar to pears; toss gently to blend.
• Transfer filling to cooled pie crust, mounding filling slightly in center. Sprinkle with Walnut-Streusel Topping. Bake pie until juices bubble thickly, fruit is tender and streusel topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Cool pie on rack until lukewarm. Cut pie into wedges and serve.

• Place dough in the prepared pan; press evenly over the bottom and up the sides. Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust several times. Place the pan on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is just beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Toss sliced peaches, blueberries, honey, and lemon juice together in a bowl until evenly coated. Pour filling into the cooled crust, slightly mounding the fruit in the middle.
