Ingredients

Crust

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 ripe large pear, peeled, cored, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling with more fruit
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Crust Topping

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted*

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Unroll pie crust onto cookie sheet.
  • 2
    In small bowl, stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. In medium bowl, stir cornstarch mixture and remaining filling ingredients. Spoon filling mixture onto center of crust within 2 inches of edge. Carefully fold 2-inch edge of crust over filling, pleating crust slightly as necessary.
  • 3
    In small bowl, beat egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush over edge of crust. Sprinkle sugar over crust edge.
  • 4
    Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until pears are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve warm. Cover and refrigerate any remaining tart.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve with whipped topping or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
  • tip 2
    Because this recipe calls for a ripe pear, it requires a bit of planning. Store-bought pears may take up to 1 week to ripen.
