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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the pears evenly.
- Place one pie crust in a pie dish and pour the pear mixture into the crust.
- 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.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 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.
