Fresh Pear Pie
This sounds very good and adding this for a good friend in Thailand. This recipe is for fresh pears, and making the crust yourself. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 2 9 inch pie crusts, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 5 cups fresh pears, cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 230 C (450 F). Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack.
- Add the pear slices to a large mixing bowl. Mix together the sugar, flour, nutmeg, and lemon zest and sprinkle over the pears and toss to mix in.
- Roll out the first crusts and line a 9 inch pie dish, pour in the pear mixture.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place on top of the pie, flute the edge to your preference. Cut a few slits in the top crust.
- Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water, brush this on the top then sprinkle some sugar on the top (makes a nice and golden crust to give a sweet crunch).
- Place pie on the baking sheet and bake sheet for 10 minutes, then reduce the temp to 180 C (350 F) and bake for another 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool for several hours before serving. Serve with whipped topping or ice cream as desired.
Notes
I will say Fair cost per serving until I can locate fresh pears again.
