Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter (unsalted, cold and cubed)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
6 to 8 tablespoon ice cold water
12 pears (peeled, cored, and sliced)
juice from one lime
½ cup butter
3 tablespoon flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg white (for brushing over the crust)

Steps:

  • Place the butter in freezer for 20 minutes.
  • In a food processor add the flour, salt and sugar and pulse a couple times.
  • Add the butter to the food processor and pulse a few times until the mixture resembles peas. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time and continue pulsing. The dough should start to hold together.
  • Remove dough from food processor and place it over your working surface. Form the dough into 2 discs, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour up to 2 days before using.
  • Peel, core and slice the pears and toss with the lime juice.
  • In a sauce pan, add the 1/2 cup of butter and melt over medium heat. Add the flour and mix until the mixture turns into a thick paste. Add water, white sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon and continue stirring. Let it simmer for a couple minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.
  • Take out the pastry discs from the fridge and roll out a disc so that it's 12 inches in diameter and place it and arrange in your pie dish. Brush the pie crust with egg white so that it doesn't get soggy.
  • Add the pears to the pie dish and pour the caramel sauce over the pears, you don't have to pour it all if you think it's too much sauce. Roll out the other disc so that it's 12 inches in diameter as well and cut it into lattice strips. Arrange the lattice strips nicely over the pears and brush with remaining egg white.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let it cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: The riper the pears, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Peel the pears before slicing them: This will help the pears hold their shape better in the pie.
  • Slice the pears thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with pears. You can also add a pinch of cardamom or cloves for a more unique flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The pears should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking the pie will make the pears mushy.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Scrumptious Pear Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and juicy filling, and warm spices, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this Scrumptious Pear Pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
