Asian pear tree is loaded again and you can't possibly eat them all one at a time right? SO, MAKE PIE! It's that time of year and we can't just let them fall off the tree and rot! This time I am using a frozen pie crust with a crumb topping. And it's oh so good!

Ingredients:
Filling:
- 5-6 cups of ripe peeled and sliced Asian pears (mine are little so it took about 20!)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumb Topping Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light-brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Crumb Topping Directions:
- In a bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup light-brown sugar, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and cinnamon.
- Cut 1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter into small pieces. With your hands, work in butter pieces, until large clumps form.
- Freeze leftover mixture in plastic storage bags.
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
- Place 1 frozen pie crust in the oven and bake 6 minutes and remove from oven and let cool a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, gently mix all the filling ingredients and spoon into your pie crust.
- Top with crumb mixture (About 1 to 1 1/2 cups)
- Cover with foil (a sheet laid over the top) and bake 40 minutes. The foil just keeps your crumbs from burning.
- Take the foil off and bake about 5 more minutes to let the crumbs brown.
- Cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
Enjoy!
