Another little surprise for my parents was the Pear and Walnut Lattice Pie I made. Autumn is upon us so I thought I would use some seasonal fruits. Apple is overrated, so I went for pear! I found a lovely recipe for this pear and walnut pie, and here it is!
This pie actually used walnut pastry, meaning the pie crust contained walnuts, as you can see once it's rolled out. The pie filling was a mix of pear, chopped walnuts and some raisins, mixed up with a bit of sugar, cinnamon and flour.
Despite the walnuts the dough was actually quite easy to roll out, and scooping the filling in also wasn't very hard work! It looked so yummy, even before going in the oven.
Of course it looke -even- better when it was all finished!! I have never been very good at making the lattice part of these kinds of pies, and trust me, I've tried! I have made many an apple pie with the same topping, I think I just always get left with just not enough dough so I have to roll them out too thin. I will keep practicing of course.
I can tell you this Pear and Walnut Lattice Pie was definitely a success!! I personally would prefer a different pie crust, this one was a little too brittle for me, but that didn't take away from the fact it was delicious.
Here's a nice big picture - don't drewl!
See you next week for a pear and chocolate pie! Oww yeahhhh.
