Ingredients
  • For the Pie
  • ½ box refrigerated pie crust (defrosted according to package directions)
  • 3 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (2-3 medium)
  • 3 cups thinly sliced, peeled pears (2-3 medium)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup golden raisins (optional)
  • For the Crumb Topping
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9” pie pan with a piece of pie crust, pressing firmly into the sides and bottom then folding any excess dough over the edges of the crust.
  2. In large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients and spoon into crust-lined pie plate. In a separate bowl, mix topping ingredients and sprinkle atop filling.
  3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Recommended: to keep your crust from excess browning, cover the edges of the pie with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of aluminum foil after the first 15 to 20 minutes of baking. Cool completely before serving.
