 Canned Pear Pie with Streusel Topping

Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients:

2 cans 15 ounce sliced pears (8 inch pie) or 3 cans 15 ounces sliced pears (9 inch pie)

1/3 cup sugar 

3 T -1/3 cup cornstarch (1/3 c makes it really thick)

2 tablespoons butter, (optional)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Single Pie Crust, unbaked 

For the Streusel Topping:

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or oil)

Directions:

Place pie crust in pan and put in the fridge to chill. Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Mix the streusel topping ingredients and set aside.

Whisk the sugar and cornstarch together in a large saucepan. Drain the juice from the canned pears into the saucepan and whisk together; set aside the pears. Add butter, lemon juice and cardamom to pan.

Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat, add pears and vanilla and gently stir. Let rest so the pears are heated through. (If it looks like there is more sauce than is needed you can skim some off with a spoon.) Sprinkle streusel topping over pie. Place on a cookie sheet in case the pie boils over.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes then turn down oven to 350 degrees and finish baking for 35- 40 minutes until it is golden brown.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter (melted)
• 1 1/3 cups Brown Sugar
• 2 large Egg Yolks
• 1/3 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 2/3 cups Flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt 
• 12 ounces Milk or Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped)

Instructions

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or melt iiti n a pot over medium-low heat, just until melted. Stir in brown sugar and keep mixing until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and smooth. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This allows it to cool slightly before adding the egg yolks (and chocolate).
• Add vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks and mix until creamy and smooth.
• Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure the cookie dough isn’t too warm before adding the chocolate or it will melt. If it is too warm, let the cookie dough come to room temperature.
• Fold in chocolate chunks. The dough needs to chill for at least 30 minutes but preferably 24 hours. You can chill it several ways — covered in the mixing bowl, wrap the dough in saran wrap, or portion out the dough in about 2 to 4 ounce balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and cover and place in the refrigerator.
• When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the chilled cookie dough balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-15 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color. The cookies will continue to set up after they are removed from the oven.

 Soft-Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

Ingredients 

• ▢2 cups old-fashioned oats
• ▢2/3 cup oat flour finely ground oats
• ▢1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢1 teaspoon salt
• ▢2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

• ▢
• ▢1/2 cup dark chocolate chips coarsely chopped

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang (these will be nearly impossible to get out otherwise).
• To make oat flour, place old-fashioned or quick oats in a blender and pulse until they resemble flour. Measure after blending to make sure you have the right amount.
• Combine the ingredients except for the dark chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir until smooth and well combined. Coarsely chop the dark chocolate chips and add to the batter. Stir to combine. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
• Bake 23–26 minutes or until set at the edges (it will look slightly wet in the center, but as long as it doesn’t jiggle, it’s done. The bars will firm up as they cool; be careful to not over bake).
