Cheddar Pear Pie
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup sucanat or other sweetener (like this)
- 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder, or GMO-free cornstarch
- 1/8 t. sea salt (I like this one)
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sucanat or organic sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F
- Combine the pears, sucanant, arrowroot powder, and salt
- Pour into your unbaked pie crust
- Mix all of the topping ingredients together and spread over the top of the filling
- Use some foil or a crust protector to keep your crust from becoming burnt and crispy
- Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes until cheese has melted and filling is bubbly
- Cool 10-15 minutes before serving
- Can be served warm or chilled
- Store in the fridge
Notes
I used 2 pint jars of home canned pears to fill my crust, but you may need to strain out some of the syrup if you do this
