Ingredients:
- 6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Toss everything together so the pears are evenly coated.
- Roll out your prepared pie crust into a pie dish, and pour the pear filling into the crust.
- If you’re feeling fancy, roll out a second pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice top. Place the strips over the pie in a criss-cross pattern. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the lattice top for that beautiful golden color when it’s baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for about 20 minutes before serving. This will let the juices settle a bit.
Serve this fresh pear pie warm or at room temperature, and don’t forget a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! It’s the perfect sweet treat to end your meal or just to enjoy on a cozy afternoon. Enjoy every bite, y’all!
