Auntie Momo's Apple, Pear & Craisin Pie.Yum.

That's me...Auntie Momo (to Keller at least) and I make a pretty fabulous apple, pie and craisin pie! And since my blog is 33.333% about food, I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes. So try it out and cuddle up by the fire with a warm piece of pie, vanilla bean ice cream and a cold glass of milk. Enjoy!

Step One. Pick some apples and pears from Soulard Farmer's Market. I use granny smith because I love the tartness mixed with the sweet brown sugar.

Peel, core and cut the apples and pears into small, bite size pieces.

Squeeze a whole lemon ontop of the apples and pears to keep them from turning brown (it also gives a tangy taste!)

Add sugar and cinnamon and toss.

Combine the following ingredients until a crumbly, soft mixture forms

2 tablespoons of butter

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of flour

a handful of quick cook oats

splash of nutmeg

splash of cinnamon

I use Pillsbury premade crust and roll it out into a pie plate. Fill with the apples, pears and craisins.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes and Voila! Happy eating!

Cheers,
