Pear and Apple Pie
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Pear and apple pie is incredibly tasty! It takes about 90 minutes to bake, then another 30 minutes to cool, but the long wait is always worth it. This very, very delicious, juicy, beautiful, and sweet pie is always a hit. It's inexpensive, yet brings immense pleasure. The pear and apple pie, whose recipe I found in a cooking magazine, has a special rich flavor and aroma imparted by rosemary, so be sure to use this ingredient—without it, the pie won't be authentically Danish! Good luck! :) Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Then, place salt, sugar, and rosemary into the bowl of a food processor and grind these ingredients for 30–60 seconds. Add flour and run the processor for another 20–30 seconds. Then add chilled butter, cut into cubes (preferably refrigerated or even frozen). Process in several short pulses (about 15 seconds each).

Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat two eggs with two tablespoons of water. Then add the mixture from the food processor and thoroughly mix everything with a fork. You may need to add a little more water to help it bind better. Then knead the dough by hand. The dough should be soft and not stick too much to your hands.

Step 4
Divide the resulting dough into two unequal parts, 1/3 and 2/3. Wrap the smaller portion of the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.

Step 5
Now use plenty of flour so the dough doesn't stick to the countertop and rolling pin. You can cover the dough with plastic wrap and roll it out to the desired shape of the base. However, roll the dough slightly larger to leave edges (about 2-3 cm).

And send the pie to bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40-45 minutes. The pie should develop a beautiful golden crust. While the pie is baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk together milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Remove the pie, let it cool for 10 minutes, then pour the glaze over the top.
