1 9″ unbaked pie crust
1/2 c. grated medium or mild cheddar cheese
1/2 c. flour
1/2 stick butter
1/4 t. salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

To make the pear cheddar pie combine pears, cornstarch, honey and 1/8 t. salt. Pour into pie crust.

In a separate bowl, combine cheese, flour, butter, 1/4 t. salt and sugar. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle over pear filling.
