📖 Ingredient notes
- AIP Pie Crust. Head over to my full AIP Pie Crust recipe and tutorial where I walk you through each step. Or, if you prefer, you can use another AIP compliant pie crust recipe.
- Pears. I'm using fresh ripe pears but if they are not in season or if you can't find any, you can use canned pears (make sure to drain them). And make sure to check the can to see if the ingredients are compliant before buying.
- Carob powder.
- Arrowroot. If you are not cassava intolerant, you can use tapioca flour instead of arrowroot. Both are AIP compliant. If you are not on the AIP diet you can use potato or corn starch instead of arrowroot.

🥣 Step by step instructions
- Roll out the pie crust. Transfer it to a pie pan lined with parchment paper. Prick the pie crust with a fork to prevent it from inflating and put it for 10 minutes in the oven to precook it.
- In the meantime, put the carob powder and arrowroot in a saucepan and mix them together. Start whisking with a manual whip while slowly adding the hot water while still whisking. Add the optional maple syrup then turn on the stove on medium low heat and let the mix cook while whisking regularly until it thickens (about 5 to 10 minutes).
- Cut the pears in half, peel them and remove the seeds and core by digging in the pear flesh with a knife.
- Spread the carob evenly over the precooked pie crust. Add the pears on top of the carob. Optional: you can cut the pears crosswise to make them more beautiful.
- Put the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until it gets a nice golden color. And voilà! Let it cool and serve. Bon appétit!
