This is a great change of pace from a fall apple pie - Pears and butterscotch go together really well... maybe with some ice cream on top.Ingredients:Our double crust pastry dough3 Tbsp (45 mL) all purpose flour1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon½ tsp (2 mL) grated nutmegpinch of salt½ cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar5 (about) firm-ripe Bartlett or Anjou pears1 Tbsp (15 mL) fresh squeezed lemon juice1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla extract1 Tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter, cut up1 large egg beaten with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) water1 Tbsp (15 mL) turbinado sugar for sprinkling MethodPreheat oven to 425°F (220ºC).Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then whisk in brown sugar, until smooth. Peel and core the pears, cut each into 6 wedges and place into the bowl with the sugar / flour mixture. Gently toss pear to coat with mixture, then add lemon juice, and vanilla. Let stand while you roll out the crust.Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out 2nd piece of dough into a 13-inch round for the lid, and cut vent holes.Pour the pear filling into the shell, and dot with butter. Cover with pastry lid and trim the edges, leaving a ½" overhang. Press edges together with a fork to seal, then fold under. Brush top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.Bake pie on baking sheet for about 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 375°F (190ºC) and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes more. Cool to room temperature before serving. - Le Gourmet TV is all about food, cooking, recipes, cocktails, and more.Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=legourmettvWebsite: http://www.legourmet.tvTwitter: https://twitter.com/LeGourmetTVFB: https://www.facebook.com/legourmettvInsta: http://instagram.com/legourmettvMaking Hong Kong Egg Tarts: http://youtu.be/gUdoYeG9kUA?list=UUsU15yvILBmnHPeAf4SFVaQ-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Please watch: "
