Time 45m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 lbs pears, peeled, each cut into 6 wedges, and cored (about 5 firm-ripe Bartlett or Anjou )
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
double recipe all-butter pastry dough
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon warm water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Put a baking sheet on middle rack of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then whisk in brown sugar, breaking up any lumps. Gently toss pears with brown sugar mixture, lemon juice, and vanilla and let stand 5 to 15 minutes to macerate fruit.
  • Roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining disk chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out remaining piece of dough into a 13-inch round. Reserve scraps.
  • Transfer filling to shell. Dot with butter, then cover with pastry round. Trim edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang (reserve scraps). Press edges together to seal, then fold under. Lightly brush top crust with some of egg wash, then cut 3 (1-inch-long) vents.
  • Roll out dough scraps about 1/8 inch thick and cut out leaf shapes with cutters (or a knife). Arrange decoratively on top of pie, pressing gently to help them adhere. Lightly brush top crust and cutouts with some of egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 375°F and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes more. Cool to warm or room temperature, 2 to 3 hours.

This is a great recipe for a classic pear butterscotch pie. The crust is flaky and the filling is rich and creamy. I would definitely make this pie again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still a good pie.

I'm not a huge fan of pears, but I loved this pie. The butterscotch filling is so rich and creamy that it makes up for the pears.
