Pear and Raisin Pie




Everyone took seconds. No Joke.
This recipe was born of a Piere Hermé recipe I happened to see, and decide I wanted to make. I did not make it in the slightest, but I did follow its general gist. The result probably what mice meat pie is like, but I really have no idea, other than that its quite tasty if I don't say so myself

Pie Crust
1 C. of Flour (Just short)
1/4 C. Almond Flour
1/8 C. Brown Sugar
6 Tbsp Butter
1/2 tsp salt
Cut butter into dry mix til mealy. Dribble in about a 1/4 C water, just until it comes together. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.

Pie
! C Large Golden Raisins (soak in Hot Water for about 5 min)
2 Large Pears and ! large apple (Grate into large bowl)
Into bowl add the following
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C agave nectar
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp alspice
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1-2 Tbsp Tapioca
2 tsp salt
1/2 C Grand Marnier

Roll out pie crust, place in tart pan, place back in fridge and preheat oven to 350.

Toast 1/2 Cup chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup pine nuts in large fry pan. Add about Two Table spoons butter, and 2 Tbsp Brown sugar, and then add in the apple and spice
mixture. Let simmer till juices are reduced

Pre-Bake pie crust for about 10 min, weighed down by foil w/ beans or something else similar.

While Crust is prebaking, Mix 1/8 C brown Sugar with 1/2 C oats, and 1 Tbsp Butter.

When Crust comes out of oven, sprinkle oat and sugar mixture over the bottom. Then pour the simmered down fruit mixture over. Place in oven (@ 350) and bake for about 20 min, or until you think its done. I would suggest serving it a la mode.
