CHEDDAR PEAR PIE



Cheddar Pear Pie image

I take this pie to lots of different gatherings, and I make sure to have copies of the recipe with me since people always ask for it. It's amusing to see some folks puzzling over what's in the filling - they expect apples but love the subtle sweetness of the pears. -Cynthia LaBree, Elmer, New Jersey

DETHBERT'S PEAR PIE



Dethbert's Pear Pie image

I've made these pies 4 or 5 times at this point, and I still can't decide if they are merely interesting or the greatest thing ever. I will update this after the 10th making. If you are unfamiliar with pears, read up on them. Usually they need to ripen for several days once they've been purchased from the store.

Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups finely shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 cup butter, softened
⅔ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
10 large pears, peeled and thinly sliced
2 unbaked 9-inch pie crusts

Steps:

  • Sift flour, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir grated Cheddar cheese into the flour mixture using a fork. Stir in butter using a wide spoon until mixture becomes crumbly. Set topping mixture aside at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place pie crusts in their tins onto a baking sheet to catch drips; place crusts 1 inch apart.
  • Sift sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a small bowl. Place pears in a large mixing bowl. When oven is hot, sprinkle sugar mixture over pears and stir to combine. Pour filling evenly into the 2 pie crusts. Divide topping mixture in half and add to the top of each pie in 4 to 6 dollops; use a wide knife to spread evenly.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 18 minutes; the pears will produce a lot of liquid and will bubble over. Check pies and cover with aluminum foil if crust or topping is getting dark. Bake about 7 minutes more.

Hand Full cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Defrost pie shell. Preheat oven to 425. Peel, core and slice pears. Toss with lemon juice. Add cornstarch, sugar and salt to pears and toss until coated. Place in pie shell.
  • 2. In small bowl add cheese, flour, sugar and salt. Stir together. Add melted and cooled butter and stir with a fork. Add to top of pears in an even layer.
  • 3. Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. I place pie on cookie sheet (in case it bubbles over)

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • Roll out remaining dough for the top crust. Use your finger dipped in a small bowl of water to moisten the rim of the bottom crust. Place top crust over filling, and trim edge using kitchen shears or a sharp paring knife. Fold edge under bottom crust, pressing to seal. Flute edge. Cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pastry dough
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 to 10 tablespoons ice water
For filling and glaze
1 medium boiling potato (5 oz)
2 cups finely chopped onion (1 large)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
9 oz good-quality white Cheddar, coarsely grated (2 1/2 cups)
Special Equipment
a pastry or bench scraper; a 9-inch tart pan or pie plate

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Blend together flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
  • Drizzle evenly with 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn out mixture onto a work surface and divide into 6 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute butter. Gather dough together with scraper and press into 2 balls, one slightly bigger than the other, then flatten into disks. Chill each disk, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Make filling and glaze while dough chills:
  • Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup). Steam potato in a steamer set over boiling water, covered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Cook onion in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to plate to cool.
  • Whisk together 2 eggs, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined well. Stir in potato, onion, and cheese.
  • Whisk remaining egg in a small bowl and reserve for egg glaze.
  • Assemble and bake pie:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and put a large baking sheet on it, then preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Roll out larger piece of dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin and fit into tart pan. Spoon filling evenly into pie shell and brush some of egg glaze on rim of shell.
  • Roll out smaller piece of dough into a 12-inch round in same manner, then cover pie with it. Trim edges of pie, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then press edges together and crimp decoratively.
  • Brush top of pie lightly with some of remaining egg glaze. Cut several steam vents in top crust with a small sharp knife.
  • Bake pie on hot baking sheet until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
