Produce Redemption, part 2

Gave away some produce, froze some for another time... now...

#3 Cook Like a Mad Woman

 Anybody have any ideas? TONS of fruit. TONS. It has sat on the counter for a week and a half... no Doritos left in house... small orchard worth of fruit. Dessert. Yeah...Pie... who doesn't like pie?
First up, Banana Cream Pie. Recipe calls for pie crust... um, yeah... this is what I think about making pie crust.

 I have 2 open packages of graham crackers. That's more like it!

 Using food processor, crush graham crackers into crumbs

 Melt and add 1 stick of butter. (some grahams were cinnamon sugar grahams, so I didn't add more sugar).

 Press into crust, bake at 350 for about 11 mins.

Set aside to cool and start the filling. Flour, sugar, and gradually add milk. Sorry for the Diet Pepsi background clutter there... but, it's honest. I'm powered by diet pepsi and sarcasm. One without the other is just, uh, unpleasant for those around me. 

 Cook over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Whip 3 whole eggs together, but don't add yet.

 Pour some of the hot milk/flour mixture into the eggs and whisk, then pour into the pan and whisk smooth

 Once thickened, remove from heat and allow both filling and crust to cool.

 Slice bananas into cooled graham crust

 Pour filling on top and then

Carefully spread whiped cream over it. Ok, I cheated. I used Cool Whip. 

Whipping cream would have required a trip to store... Cool Whip was in the freezer here already.

 Put into fridge to chillax...

Big bowl of pears. And a lemon. Kinda pretty... but still perishable.... I honestly had no idea what to do with so many pears... google time...

 Came across this recipe, sounded interesting: Cheddar Pear Pie. Ingredient list did not include a crust, just a crisp style topping. Peeled and sliced pears

 Layered into a crock as my own pie pan was already filled with banana cream goodness. Tossed pears with lemon juice.

 Mixed dry, crisp ingredients, cheese, and cold butter in food processor.

 Added dry ingredients to sliced, lemon juiced pears

 Tossed until goopy

 Noticed recipe DID include a crust.. yah, I'll get right on that. Cheddar Pie Cobbler, Sonny.

Covered top of goopy pear mixture with the crisp topping.

Baked at 325 in the toaster oven (350 conventional oven).

 Dessert Euphoria...

...that resulted in my inviting and then feeding 11 people for dinner....
