I've always felt so un-american not caring for apple pie! I LOVE pears, so one year I decided to come up with a PEAR pie! Here's my recipe, and I must say, it really is good!!! Hope you give it a try. Even if you're an apple pie lover, this is a nice treat from the norm.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup light brown sugar or 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cups ripe bosc pears, cored, peeled and thinly sliced (8 pears)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
cinnamon or cinnamon sugar
2 (9 inch) deep dish pie shells

Steps:

  • In large bowl, whisk/mix first 6 ingredients. In medium bowl, slice cored, peeled pears into lemon juice, tossing as you go to prevent browning.
  • Stir pears into dry mixture well. Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour into unbaked 9" deepdish pie shell. Dot top with butter.
  • Cover with lattice top, or top of your choice. Tuck top edge under bottom edge, pinch/flute edge all the way around well to seal.
  • Brush top with a little water very lightly, sprinkle top with cinnamon/sugar.
  • Bake in 425º oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350º, bake 45-50 minutes longer. Watch for any excessive browning on edges, may need to cover them lightly with foil. Serve warm with Butter Pecan ice cream if desired!
  • Makes a large pie, serves 6-8.
