Fresh Pear Pie

Fresh Pear Pie
Fresh juicy pears, combined with cinnamon make a delicious pie. Any pear can be used, but winter pears such as Bosc and Bartlett bake especially well.
Recipe type: Dessert | Fruit Pie
Serves: 6 to 8
Prep time:  1 hour
Cook time:  75 mins
Total time:  2 hours 15 mins
Recipe Notes
Pan: One 9" Pie Pastry: Classic Pie Pastry Prep: Unbaked Starting Oven Temp: 425° Storage: Covered, Cool Place or Refrigerate

Help: Classic Pie Pastry
Ingredients
Classic Pie Pastry for one 9 inch double-crust pie
Filling:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 Bartlett or Bosc pears (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Topping:
  • Approximately 1 teaspoon milk (preferably whole milk)
  • Approximately 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare pastry for one 9 inch double-crust pie. Line a 9 inch pie pan with the bottom pastry.
Filling:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Peel, core, and dice pears into small pieces, about ¼ inches thick. Toss pear pieces into sugar mixture, stir until well mixed. Sprinkle lemon juice over pear mixture, stir until well mixed.
  3. Spread pear mixture in the pastry-lined pie pan. Cover filling with the top pastry and flute the edges. Cut slits or decorative designs in the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
Topping:
  1. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush milk over top pastry and fluted edges, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  2. Bake: Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees F. Bake an additional 60 minutes, or until the pear juices are bubbling and the crust is a golden brown. Tip: During baking, if crust is getting too brown, loosely place a piece of foil over the top to prevent the crust from over-browning.
  3. Remove from oven. Cool on a wire cooling rack before cutting and serving.
Tip: Fruit pies are juicy and usually bubble over while baking; bubbling fruit juices are very sticky and can be hard to clean up. There are a few solutions for easy clean up. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with foil or parchment paper. If using foil, grease the foil for easier removal, or juices that have bubbled over will cause the foil to stick to the bottom of the pan. Discard the paper or foil along with the spilled juices after baking. Or, place a non-stick baking mat on top of un-greased foil, curve up the edges of the foil to keep the juices from spilling onto the floor of the oven, and place the pie directly on the baking mat. Or, place a drip pan lined with foil on a lower oven rack underneath the pie while it is baking to catch the juices when they bubble over.
Serving suggestion: Serve pie either when cooled to room temperature or still slightly warm. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top, or serve ala-mode with vanilla ice cream.

Easter Coconut Cake
