Here is the formula for a traditional pear pie:
Ingredients:
1 pie crust with two layers
5 to 6 cups of sliced and peeled ripe pears
Granulated sugar, 1/2 cup
Cornstarch, 1/4 cup
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon
14 teaspoons of ground ginger
14 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of tiny chunks of unsalted butter
For egg wash, beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
Instructions:
Turn the oven on to 375°F.
The pear slices, sugar, cornflour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt should all be mixed together in a big basin. To coat the pears, thoroughly mix.
The pie pastry's bottom crust should be rolled and put into a 9-inch pie dish.
After adding the butter, pour the pear mixture into the crust.
Place the top crust over the pear mixture after rolling it out. To let the steam out, make slits in the top crust.
Apply egg wash to the top crust.
Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Before serving, let the pie cool fully.
Enjoy your mouthwatering pear pie!
You can include extra ingredients like lemon juice or zest, almond extract, or chopped walnuts in the pear pie to make it taste even better. Before baking, you might add sprinkle some sugar on top of the crust to give it a lovely, golden appearance. Each event, from a straightforward family meal to a holiday party, calls for this pie. Serve it warm and top it with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat that will satisfy your sweet craving. For a quick and simple dessert, you can refrigerate any leftovers and reheat them in the oven or microwave.
