Equipment

  • large baking sheet
  • pie pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 1 Homemade pie crust

Filling

  • 6-7 pears firm, but not hard/unripe and not soft, peeled and chopped into ½'' chunks (about 7 cups)
  • 1 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon butter melted
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Crumb Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter cut into chunks

Instructions
 

  • Place a large baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven (with the pan inside) to 375 degrees F. Add pie crust to pie pan. Refrigerate while you make filling.
  • Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, in a bowl. Add butter and use your fingertips, a fork, or pastry blender to work the butter into the mixture until well combined. Refrigerate while you assemble the pie.
  • Add pears to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle lemon juice, butter, sugars, flour and spices over the top and very gently stir to coat evenly. Pour filling into pie shell. Top with crumb topping.
  • Place pie in the oven on top of a hot baking sheet and bake for about 50 minutes, until filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack, at least 3 hours, before cutting and serving.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
