Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 medium Ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
Pour the pear mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
In another bowl, prepare the crumb topping. Combine the remaining 2 1/4 cups of flour and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pears, covering the filling completely.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to let the filling set.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
