MOM'S PEAR PIE WITH CARAMEL
SAUCE
 
1 ready-made pie crust (like Pillsbury)
2/3 c. flour, divided
1/2 c. splenda or sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. lemon juice
6 medium-sized, firm pears, peeled, cored, cut lengthwise into thick wedges
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
3 tbsp. chilled butter, cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Put pie crust into pan, set aside. Combine 1/3 cup flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl. Add juice and pears to flour mix, toss to coat. Arrange pear mix in even layer in crust. Combine remaining 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, add cold butter, cut with 2 knives until crumbly. Sprinkle over pears.

Bake 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes.

SAUCE:

1/2 c. packed light brown sugar

2 tbsp. soft butter
2 tsp. water

For sauce, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, cream, and soft butter in small saucepan over med-high heat. Bring to boil, cook 1 min, until thick. Serve warm over pie.

So rich and luxuriant you won't believe how low calorie it is; 287 per slice, (with splenda) for fat; 11 grams-saturated.

Hi Everett,

The water is in the list of ingredients for the sauce, which means that it is included in the sauce.

Please inform others when serving ANYTHING made with 'Splenda'. It causes some people, including me, headaches! Thank you...
