This gorgeous and Rustic Pear Pie is my favorite pie recipe to prepare in the late summer and early fall, when the green markets begin to overflow with ripe and juicy pears.
This recipe includes steps to baking your own, homemade, pie pastry and using sliced pears, soft light brown sugar, cinnamon, double whipped cream, and a few other ingredients for an extra delicious fruity center. ENJOY!
To make Rustic Pear Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, using your fingertips, mix the 225g whole wheat flour, caster sugar, salt and butter together until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs.
With your hands, add 1 egg and mix the dough together until it sticks, adjusting water and flour as necessary.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes, to chill.
Preheat oven to 180 °C/fan160 °C/gas 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, toss the pears with the brown sugar, cinnamon and 1 tablespoon flour.
Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface, into rustic circle about 5mm thick, 35cm diameter. Place on baking sheet and arrange pears into the center of the pie, leaving an 8-9cm border.
Using the baking parchment, lift and fold the pastry up and over the pears. Brush edges with a beaten egg.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes until golden.
Serve warm with dusted icing sugar and a dollop of whipped cream, if you wish!
