Health benefits of Pear-Walnut Crumble Pie

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 box Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
5 cups sliced peeled pears (about 5 large)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Dash salt

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 °F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.
In large bowl, lightly toss pears and remaining pie ingredients. If pears are very juicy, add additional 1 tablespoon flour. Spoon into crust-lined plate.
In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour, the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture is crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Spoon over pear mixture.
Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or cool.
