  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg

Instructions

Spiced Pear Filling

  • Peel and slice the pears thinly. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, and salt, set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour and spices. Sprinkle evenly over pears and toss to coat.
  • Let sit to macerate until pie is baked.

Pecan Crumble Topping

  • Mix brown sugar, flour, salt, and spices in a large bowl.
  • Stir in butter with a spatula, just until the flour mix is evenly coated and you’re able to create loose clumps. Fold in toasted pecans.
  • Refrigerate until firm, then assemble onto pie filling when ready to bake.

Pie

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Prick the bottom of the chilled pie crust with a fork several times.
  • Spread pear filling in evenly. Crumble pecan topping over generously, focusing on the middle and top of pie.
  • Bake on a sheet pan in the bottom third of the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until top is golden and pear juices are bubbling on the edges. Let cool and serve sliced with whipped cream.
