French Pear Pie

Directions

Combine the pears, orange juice concentrate and lemon rind in a bowl and toss lightly.

Arrange the pear mixture in the unbaked pie shell.

Prepare the Spicy Crumb Topping and sprinkle over the pear mixture.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 40 minutes or until the pears are tender.

Cover loosely with aluminum foil after 30 minutes if the top becomes too brown.

Cool on a wire rack before serving.

SPICY CRUMB TOPPING: Combine the flour, sugar, spices and salt in a bowl.

Cut in the margarine, using a pastry blender, until the mixture is crumbly.
