Mini Pear Pies
Today I made these mini pear pies for my family and they loved them!
So, I decided to blog about it, seeing as how it's pear season!
You start off by making the crust:
1 cube of butter, 1/2 cup
1 cup of flower
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp water
Mix together, roll out, and cut into rounds. I used a round cup. Just remember to cut out an even amount so you have as many "bottoms" as "tops" for your pies.
Then you prep the pears. Pick about 4-6 ripe pears.
Peel, core, and slice them. Season them with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup oatmeal.
Spoon onto the "bottoms" of the mini pies on the greased cookie sheets.
Place the pear filling in the center with room around the edge to connect the "tops". Place a small pad of butter between the pear filling and top pie crust. Seal with your fingers.
Bake for about 30 min at 350 degrees or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
They are delicious with a bowl of ice cream!!
