Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 7 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Pears (ripe, peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for filling)
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for caramel)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the pie crust.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together but is not sticky. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

Step 6

To make the caramel, heat the brown sugar and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Roll out one of the chilled dough discs on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press it into the dish, letting the excess hang over the edges.

Step 8

Spoon the pear filling evenly into the pie crust. Drizzle the prepared caramel sauce over the pears.

Step 9

Roll out the second dough disc and lay it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges of the pie to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your homemade caramel pear pie!
