Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the lower third.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, flour, ginger, and cinnamon.
  3. Pour the maple syrup over the pear mixture and fold gently.
  4. Lay the first pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and fill it with the pear mixture.
  5. Create a lattice pattern with the second pie crust or place it whole with slits for ventilation.
  6. Bake for about 1 hour until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles.
  7. Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm pears for best results. Cooling the pie before slicing is important for cleaner slices.
