Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 medium Ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the pears evenly.

Step 4

Pour the pear mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

In another bowl, prepare the crumb topping. Combine the remaining 2 1/4 cups of flour and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pears, covering the filling completely.

Step 7

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to let the filling set.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
