Instructions
Begin by making the pie crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour, 25 grams of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter (125 grams) using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 4 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack in the center of the oven.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the dough to the dish, trim any excess, and crimp the edges. Set aside.
Prepare the pear filling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears (900 grams), 90 grams of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix well to coat the pears evenly.
Pour the pear filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Make the crumble topping by mixing 80 grams of rolled oats, 70 grams of all-purpose flour, and 100 grams of brown sugar in a bowl.
Add the melted butter (85 grams) to the topping mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pear filling.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
