How about this one from this file in the FOOD section of the 
Florilegium:
14C-Fingerfds-art (10K) 10/14/01    "English - 14th Century Fingerfoods"
                                        by THL Kateryn de Develyn.

If this isn't it, I think there are several more in the Florilegium. Go 
to the search engine and use the "search with all these words" and use 
"apple pear pie".
