How to make it
- First, you KNOW you can buy a crust OR make your own recipe. That said, here's The Pie Lady's crust:
- CRUST:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl.
- Cut the shortening and butter into the flour until mix resembles coarse meal.
- Sprinkle in ice water a tablespoon at a time and toss with a fork, stirring until dough gathers into a ball.
- Transfer to a lightly floured pastry cloth.
- Flatten slightly with your hand.
- Roll dough with rolling pin to a 14" circle.
- Turn dough into a 9" pie plate.
- Fold edges over and flute as desired.
- Set aside.
- FILLING:
- Combine sliced pears with tapioca, orange zest, cinnamon lemon juice and salt.
- Gently mix the sugar and raspberries into the pear mixture.
- TOPPING:
- Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl and cut in butter until mixture is in small pieces.
- Add the coconut and mix gently to combine.
- Transfer the pear mixture into the unbaked pie shell and sprinkle with topping.
- Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until juices are bubbling and topping is golden brown.
