Pie Crust
- 1 homemade or store-bought double pie crust
Filling
- 8 cups (1kg) fresh pears, peeled and sliced 1/4″ thick (about 8–9 pears)*
- 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (190ml) maple syrup
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the lower third of the oven to ensure even baking.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, toss together the sliced pears, all-purpose flour, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon thoroughly to evenly coat the fruit with the spices and flour.
- Add Maple Syrup: Pour in the maple syrup and gently toss the mixture again to fully coat the pears, blending the flavors nicely without breaking the fruit slices.
- Assemble Pie: Spoon the pear mixture into a 9-inch pie plate lined with one piece of the pie crust. Cut the second pie crust into ten 1-inch wide strips and weave them into a lattice pattern on top of the filling. Alternatively, you can lay the full crust on top and cut a few slits for ventilation. Press and crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake Pie: Bake the pie at 375°F for 1 hour or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Use a pie crust shield if necessary to prevent the crust edges from burning.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
Notes
- *Choose ripe yet firm pears to hold their shape and avoid mushy filling.
- Using a pie crust shield or aluminum foil on edges during baking can prevent overbrowning.
- Maple syrup adds a natural sweetness; adjust quantity if a sweeter or less sweet pie is preferred.
- This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly warmed.
