I couldn't really imagine a pear pie until I bit into this succulent dessert. The sweet crumb topping is wonderful and the filling is a nice change from apple. Try it with a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt. —Ruth Ann Stelfox of Raymond, Alberta

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups sliced peeled fresh pears
  • 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
  • CRUMBLE TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour; add the pears and toss gently to coat. Spoon into pastry shell. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over pie.
