Apple and Pear Pie

I had a surplus of apples and pears and had nothing else better to do, soooooo I decided to bake a semi-homemade pie. 



What You Need:



5 cups chopped apples and pears - I used green apples and golden pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2/3 cups sugar
5 teaspoons flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
a pinch of nutmeg (1/8 of a teaspoon)
a pinch of sea salt - regular salt will do too (1/8 teaspoon)
pie dough- thawed from frozen, 2 rolls/sheets

What to Do: 
Preheat your oven to 425F.

In a bowl, toss the chopped apples and pears, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, flour, nutmeg and salt. 


Unroll one dough at the bottom of a pie plate. 

Pour the apple-pear mixture over the dough.

Unroll the second pie dough on top to cover the apples and pears. 

Pinch the corners to seal the pie. 

Make slits with a knife on top of the dough to make a vent. 

Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. 


About 20 minutes into the baking, put foil at the edges of the pie plate, just to cover the edges and prevent it from burning.

Serve warm and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish.
Enjoy.
