Ok I am all for shortcuts during the busy time of the year so we are gonna cheat and NO one will ever know.You will need
Pillsbury ready crust. The kind that is in a box in the refer section
3-4 Pears
1 Tbls of lemon juice
4 teaspoons of cornstarch =1 tbl + 1 teaspoon
1/2 teas cinnamon if you want more add more
3 1/2 Tbls brown sugar
Parchment Paper
2Teaspoons honey
1/2 Teaspoon boiling water
(just wanted to add...today I made it again and I had leftover whole canned cranberry sauce so I threw some in. OMG it was fabulous!!!)
Preheat oven to 425
Peel and core the pears and slice them about 1/4 inch thick
sprinkle lemon juice on pears and toss gently
sprinkle on the cornstarch, cinnamon & sugar.
Toss until they are evenly coated. set aside
Place parchment paper on cookie sheet and place the dough circle in the middle
Take the pears and pile them in the middle of the circle of dough. You must leave
a 2 inch border. Now take the border edge of dough and fold over pears. this will not cover the pears it will be an edge. If you have to do that crimpy foldy thing do that. edge should look rustic not perfect
Place in 425 degree oven for 15 minutes then lower temp to 350 and bake another 40 minutes, until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
When you take from oven mix the honey and water together and brush over the top and the crust edge. This will make it shinny and yummy.
Let cool for a bit. You may serve this warm or room temp.
