This Fresh Pear Pie is a delightful dessert that showcases the natural sweetness and juiciness of fresh pears. The flaky crust pairs perfectly with the tender pears and warm spices, creating a comforting and delicious treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 6-7 fresh pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 pie crusts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the pears evenly.
  3. Place one pie crust in a pie dish and pour the pear mixture into the crust.
  4. Cover the pie with the second crust, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  6. Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy a slice of this delicious Fresh Pear Pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
