Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the diced butter and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of cold water over the dough and mix until it forms a smooth dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  4. Prepare the filling by tossing sliced pears with brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and cornstarch.

  5. Roll out two-thirds of the chilled dough to fit the pie dish. Transfer the dough and press it into place.

  6. Spread the pear mixture over the dough-lined dish.

  7. Roll out the remaining dough to create a lattice or decorative top. Lay the dough strips over the pears in a lattice pattern.

  8. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg.

  9. Bake at 375°F for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

  10. Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
