My Spicy Autumn Pear Pie image

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. Old photo by me

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
4 Tbl. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbl. lemon juice
8 very ripe bosc pears, cored peeled and sliced thin
3 Tbl. butter, cut up
cinnamon sugar
enough pastry for a double crust deepdish pie

Steps:

  • 1. 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. Cut slits in top if not making a lattice top. 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.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I don't recommend this recipe.

The crust on this pie was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This pie is perfect for fall! The pears are in season and the spices give it a warm and cozy flavor.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the pie still turned out great! I used a mix of pears and apples, and I added a little bit of cinnamon to the filling.

This pie was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I'll be making it again for Thanksgiving.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I loved this pie! The spices really brought out the flavor of the pears.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out perfectly. The crust was golden brown and the filling was bubbling and delicious.

This pear pie was a hit! The combination of sweet and spicy was perfect, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making this again.
