Spiced Pear Pie

This delicious spiced pear pie uses ginger and nutmeg to enhance the sweet pear taste. All combined in a flaky pie crust.

Add the cold butter to flour, salt and sugat and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture into coarse crumbs. You want a few pea-size pieces of butter in there.

Add the yogurt to the bowl and stir until the dough comes together. Use a fork or your hands to combine the dough into a shaggy ball, and add in as much chilled water as needed, ½ a tablespoon at a time.

Roll the dough into a rectangle and then fold into 3 like a pamphlet. Repeat this roll and fold process once more.

Cut into two, shape into rounds and chill for 2 hours.

Slice pears and combine with brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, flour and salt.

Roll out one half of the pie dough and add the pear filling.

Top with the second pie dough, cut as lattice strips.

Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Bake until deeply browned and bubbling.

Let it cool for 4 hours before serving. See the link for the full recipe!
