Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh pears
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 9-inch rounds Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice to the pears. Mix well to evenly coat the fruit.
Roll out the first pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the pear filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
Place the second pie crust on top, sealing the edges with a fork or your fingers. Trim off any excess dough and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
