Pear, Gorgonzola and walnut pie recipe

Yields 4 miniature pies

Ingredients:

• 1 store-bought pie crust, uncooked
• 3 Bosc pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 ounce Gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Cut dough into four pieces and press into 4 miniature tart or pie pans. If the dough does not fit perfectly just press in any cut-off overhanging dough.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together sliced pears, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch. Fill each tart with an equal amount of filling.
4. Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts on top of the pies.
5. Cover the pies loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees, then decrease the heat to 375 degrees F and bake for another 30 minutes. Halfway through the 30 minutes remove the foil so the walnuts have a chance to toast.
6. Serve warm or room temperature with ice cream if desired.
