Directions

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons Butter, cold
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Shortening, cold
  • 5 tablespoons Water, cold
  • 1 1⁄4 cups Flour

Step 1

Rub in 4 tbsp butter and all the shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Stir in enough water to make a dough that holds together. Gather into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
 

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 15in (38cm) round. Transfer to a baking tray, hanging the excess over the sides.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Golden Delicious Apple
  • 1 pound Bosc Pear
  • 1⁄4 cup Sugar

Step 3

Peel, core, and cut the apples and pears into ¼ in (5mm) thick slices. Arrange the fruit in concentric circles on the pastry, leaving a 1½ in (4cm) border. Sprinkle with the sugar and dot with 2 tbsp butter. Fold up and pleat the pastry around the fruit.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Apricot Preserves

Step 4

Bake 45 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the crust is golden brown. Brush with the preserves. Serve warm.
