You're Beautiful Blueberry Pear Crumble Pie (in a jar!)

Something special this week! Beautiful: The Carole King Musical Tour is in town, and I thought it would be fun to make the cast some pies in a jar, inspired by the Waitress pies you get in the theater!

"You're Beautiful Blueberry Pear Crumble Pie: Sweet juicy blueberries baked with ripe pears, topped with a walnut and pecan crumble, and a pie crust music note. Baked to perfection in a mini mason jar."

Choose your juicy pears. Barlett or D'Anjou are the best!

Peel and chop pears...

...add in blueberries...

...to cornstarch, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Prepare your walnut and pecan crumble topping.

Prepare 4oz mason jars. (This recipe is for 12.)

Spoon fruit mixture in each jar, filling it 3/4 of the way to the top...

...till it looks like this!

Spoon 2 TBSPN crumble right on top of the fruit mixture.

Using a mini cookie cutter, cut out your shapes to top off the mini pies.

Bake to perfection!
