Name: Dethbert'S Pear Pie
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Topping:; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup white sugar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 cups finely shredded mild Cheddar cheese; 1 cup butter, softened; Filling:; 2/3 cup white sugar; 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 10 large pears, peeled and thinly sliced; 2 unbaked 9-inch pie crusts

Servings: persons

Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups finely shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 cup butter, softened
Filling:
2/3 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 large pears, peeled and thinly sliced
2 unbaked 9-inch pie crusts

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
