Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary.

Pear Pie

I always find that the hardest part about making pies, is making the crust. If you want to save yourself some time, use a ready made pie crust! The rest is easy. Here we go. 

Pear Pie
Adapted from allrecipes.
Makes 8 Servings

 Ingredients
  • 1 ready made pie crust, 9" unbaked
  • 6 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, beaten
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth, then beat in the eggs one at a time on medium speed until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour, cinnamon and vanilla, followed by the pears. Place the pear mixture into the pie crust.
  3. Bake for 1 hour, or until the pears are soft and the centre of the pie is set. Cool completely before serving.
  4. I tasted it warm (a la mode of course) and at room temperature. It's best when it's cool.

    Jenny, just popped over to let you know that your link to Food on Friday: Ham was featured in my Need Some Inspiration? Series today. Hope you are having a good week.

    PS That pear pie is so great. I have never cooked pear (other than poaching one in red wine once)
