"On Mother's Day, I bake her favorite apple pear
pie. I am always amazed to watch such a small woman eat such
a large slice of pie with vanilla ice cream."
Ingredients:
- 1 batch of your favorite pie crust for a double crust
pie
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca granules
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 pears, peeled, quartered, core discarded, and sliced
- 3 large apples, peeled, quartered, core discarded, and
sliced
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large sauce pan over high heat, combine
the sugar, tapioca, cornstarch, ginger, cinnamon, lemon
juice and pears. Bring to a boil while stirring, then cook
about 3 minutes, constantly stirring until slightly thick
and shinny. Remove from the fire, stir in the apples. Cool
and spoon into the chilled pie shell. Top with lattice cut
crust then bake 50 minutes in the middle of the oven, until
the fruit bubbles and the crust is browned. Cool before
cutting.
