1 (I5-oz.) pkg. Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts,
softened as directed on package
3 firm ripe pears, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Pillsbury BEST All Purpose or Unbleached
Flour
1 cup fresh or frozen whole raspberries without syrup,
partially thawed
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
Heat oven to 400°F. Prepare pie crusts as directed on
package for one-crust filled pie using 9-inch pie pan.
Reserve second crust for cutouts. In large bowl, combine
pears, lemon juice and almond extract; toss to coat. Add
3/4 cup sugar and flour; mix well. Spoon about half of
pear mixture into crust-lined pan. Top with raspberries.
Spoon remaining pear mixture over raspberries. With 2
1/2-inch floured round cookie cutter, cut 9 rounds from
second pie crust. Brush each with melted butter. Place 8
rounds, butter side up, in circle on outer edge of
fruit, overlapping as necessary. Place 1 round in
center. Sprinkle rounds with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at
400°F. for 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is golden
brown and filling is bubbly. If necessary, cover edge of
crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of
baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool 3 hours or
until completely cooled. If desired, serve with
