Ingredients

1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. butter
5 cups peeled and sliced pears
1 tsp. lemon zest
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar

Method

01

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack.
02

Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and lemon zest in mixing bowl. Roll out half the pastry and line a 9-inch pie pan.
03

Arrange pear slices in layers in the pastry-lined pan, sprinkling the sugar mixture over each layer. Dot with butter and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Roll out remaining dough for the top crust. Use your finger dipped in a small bowl of water to moisten the rim of the bottom crust. Place top crust over filling, and trim edge using kitchen shears or a sharp paring knife. Fold edge under bottom crust, pressing to seal. Flute edge. Cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
