Pear Cheddar Pie

FOR THE CRUMBLE

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup butter

                  

FOR THE PIE

6 cups peeled and sliced pears

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

unbaked pie crust

•  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine the flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and Cheddar cheese. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice. Combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the pears and toss to coat.
