- First Mixture
- 1/4 cup sugar

- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup butter
- 6 or 7 average pears
- 1 unbaked pie crust - 9 inch

Peel and thinly slice the pears and place in an uncooked pie shell. In a bowl, mix the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and lemon juice from the first mixture and pour over the pears in the pie shell.
Step 2
For the topping, if using graham crackers crumbs, place 3 crackers in Ziploc bag; pulverize to meal with rolling pin. In a bowl mix the ingredients from the second mixture with your hands.
