Instructions
Preparation Steps
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F. While it heats, prepare your pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.
Pour the pear mixture into the prepared pie crust, making sure to distribute the slices evenly.
Cover the pie with a second crust or create a lattice top if you prefer. Seal the edges and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
This pie is perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; the flavors complement each other beautifully.
