- 6 pieces pears, peeled and sliced
- 6 pieces apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 lemon zest
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
- 2 pieces egg yolks
- 9 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, mix 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons sugar (for crust).
Step 2
Cut in 1 cup cold butter with two table knives until the mixture is crumbly.
Step 3
Stir in egg yolks with a fork. Sprinkle in cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing until a ball of pastry forms. Cut the pastry ball in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Combine all of the ingredients for the filling (pears, apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, 3/4 cup sugar, ground cinnamon, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar) in a separate bowl and set aside.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the pastry dough to fit a 10-inch round pie dish.
Step 7
Place the pastry dough in the pie dish and fill with the apple-pear mixture.
Step 8
Roll out the second pastry dough to fit the top of the pie. Place it over the filling, press down the edges with a fork to seal, and make two sets of fork holes in the middle of the pie for venting.
Step 9
Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the pie is golden.
