The buttery flaky crust complements tender-crisp pears in this easy pear pie. The pears keep their texture after baking, and the walnut streusel on top adds nutty flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Crust

1 1/2 recipe Butter Pastry Dough (1 crust; see associated recipe)

Filling

⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
3 pounds firm Bartlett or Anjou pears, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 7 cups)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Streusel

¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Caramel sauce for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Position rack in lower third of oven.
To prepare crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry dough into a 13-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing into the bottom and up the sides; roll excess dough under the edges and crimp as desired. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to use.
To prepare filling: Whisk together granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Add pear slices and lemon juice; toss to coat. Place in the prepared chilled crust.
To prepare streusel: Combine oats, flour, walnuts and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter just until combined. Sprinkle over the pear filling. Bake until the crust and streusel are golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour, 30 minutes. Drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
