Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust 12"
  • 2 bosc pears peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 4 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. ginger
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F 
  • Using a pastry mat, roll your dough to a 14" circle and be sure it's not too thin
  • Mix the brown sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and ginger together
  • Toss the pears and walnuts in the sugar mixture until well coated and then arrange the pear slices in a circle - layering them evenly
  • Leave about 2" edge all around your pie crust so that it will fold over and support the fruit
  • Place the frozen blueberries here and there over the pears to space them out
  • Fold over the pie crust as shown in the photos, the more uneven it looks, the better!
  • Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg, and then sprinkle the entire pie with white sugar - just a teaspoon or so! 
  • Place in the bottom third of the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the pie crust is golden
  • Remove and let cool for a few minutes before you move it onto a rack.  
  • Serve warm with whipped cream, and caramel sauce! Bon Appetit!
