  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Set of measuring spoons
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Butter softened
  • 2 tsp Milk or Water
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Topping

  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 3/4 cup Sugar

Filling

  • 3 to 4 Large pears Sliced about 1/3 inch each, without seeds, stem or core. Add more pears as needed, especially if using small pears.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425.

Make the Crust

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and soft butter, milk and vanilla. Pour this mixture into the flour bowl and mix gently with a fork. Add milk if mixture is too dry.
  • Line the pie dish with parchment paper. Alternatively, grease the dish with butter. Press the dough into your pie dish with your fingers until it covers the bottom and about halfway up the sides.

Assemble the Pie

  • Starting on the outer edge, arrange the pear slices in concentric circles. Sprinkle with the topping.
  • Bake for 30 to 45 minutes until shiny and crust begins to brown. Check on the pie as needed, especially if using a convection setting.
  • Cool on a rack. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
