Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared pie crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 5 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears with maple syrup, grated ginger, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the pear mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours to let the filling set before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm pears to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans over the filling before baking.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to taste.
- Leftover pie can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- For extra shine, brush the crust with an egg wash before baking.
