Chai Spiced Pear Pie
Looking for a pie this Fall that isn’t just the boring old pumpkin, apple, or pecan? Ok, those are delicious too- BUT this one is even better! I’ve team up with my friends at Wewalka to bring you this spiced up pear pie. It’s warm, comforting, easy to make, and will be your new Fall favorite. Making crust is my least favorite part of baking so using Wewalka pie crust makes this fancy pie easy. Trust me, you’re going to LOVE it.
Ingredients
10 cups sliced pears (about 8–10 pears depending on the size of the pears)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
2–3 sheets pre-made pie crust (I ONLY use WeWalka)
Egg wash
Instructions
In a pan over medium heat add the sliced pears, brown sugar, flour, spices, and butter
Let the pears cook down, stirring often, for about 5-6 minutes. Let them cool completely
Preheat your oven to 425 Degrees F
Add a sheet of the pie dough to a 9 inch pie pan and gently press down
Add in the cooled pear pie filling
If you’d like to make a beautiful lattice for the top (which I recommend!!) watch my video! I also love using pie crust leaf cutters as a border
Once you have the lattice on top done put it into the freezer to chill for 10 minutes
Take out of the freezer, brush with an egg wash, and put into the preheated oven
Let it bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees F, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake another 40 minutes. If you find that the crust it getting too browned, lightly tint with foil and continue cooking
That’s it! You won’t even believe how delicious this pie is. I have a feeling it will be your new Thanksgiving favorite!
