Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust
  • 1 pound pears Bosc; approximately 2 pears
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • cup (67g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons salted caramel plus more for garnish
  • Egg Wash for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Slice pears 1/16-inch (1mm) thick. Place in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, then add sugar mixture and toss to coat.
  • Roll out pie crust on a large piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle.
  • Arrange the pears (without any juices) in the center of the pie crust circle, leaving a 2-inch border. Drizzle with caramel (just over the pears).
  • Fold up the edges gently and place over the pears, overlapping as necessary. Brush with egg wash.
  • Bake 28-32 minutes, or until golden. Let cool to room temperature and drizzle with additional caramel before serving.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Be sure to slice the pears very thin so they cook all the way.
  • Use homemade caramel, salted caramel, or even buy it from the store.
