Preparation
Step 1
About 1 ½ hours before serving:
1. prepare pastry topping: In medium bowl, with hand, mix pecans, allspice, 2 cups flour, 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened, and ½ cup sugar until soft and pliable. Shape pastry into a ball; wrap with plastic wrap; refrigerate.
2. Into shallow, oval 2 ½ quart casserole, peel and slice apples and pears; gently toss apples and pears with raisins, ¼ cup sugar, and 3 T. flour. Cut 1 T. butter into small pieces; sprinkle evenly over top of apple mixture.
3. Preheat oven to 375o. Divide pastry into 7 pieces. On cutting board, flatten 1 pastry piece; with knife, cut our a few leaves. Flatten remaining pastry pieces and arrange on top of fruit to cover as much of mixture as possible. Arrange leaves on top of dessert. Bake 45 minutes or until pastry is golden and apple mixture is tender. If pastry begins to brown too much, cover loosely with foil. Remove dessert to wire rack. Serve warm, or cool to serve later. Serve with ice cream.
