Caramel Pear Pie

Whenever I serve a fruit cobbler, I notice that some people prefer the streusel top (like my husband), while others favor the fruity (and less calorie-dense) bottom (like me). I decided to please everyone by creating the ultimate fruit dessert to please both camps. This one does it and has since become a family favorite, and can be made either dairy or parve.

 

I’ve prepared this using both dairy and parve caramel, and also with pecans or walnuts, depending on what I found in my pantry. Both versions were equally popular.

Definitely a Winner! I tried this crumble with a couple of changes and it was really delicious! I used Lotus butter in place of the caramel (I had it in the house), I used oil in place of the butter/margarine, and I used plain chopped pecans in place of the candied pecans. It was heaven!
