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.
