How to Make Apple Pear Pie with Honeycrisp Apples
- Step 1: Prepare the Apples and Pears Wash and core the Honeycrisp apples and fresh pears. Slice the fruit into thin, even pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. You can leave the skins on for added texture and color.
- Step 2: Make the Apple Pear Pie Filling Add the brown sugar, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the sliced apples and pears. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated in the sweet, cinnamon-spiced mixture.
- Step 3: Fill the Pie Crust Spoon the apple pear filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Pour any remaining juices over the fruit and arrange small pieces of butter on top.
- Step 4: Add the Top Crust Unroll the second refrigerated pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several steam vents into the top crust and brush with egg wash.
- Step 5: Bake the Pie Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for approximately 55–65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cover the edges with aluminum foil if they begin to brown too quickly.
- Step 6: Cool and Serve Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling can set. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
