Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

3. 3

   On a cutting board, cut the pears lengthwise in 2 halves, removing the cores. Slice into ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1 mm) thick slices. Slice all the way through, but keep the pear halves together.

4. 4

   Lay the pie crust on the prepared baking sheet and arrange the pear halves on top, separating the slices to cover the center of the crust, leaving a 1-inch (2 cm) border around the edge.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the sugar spice mix over and between the pear slices.

6. 6

   Fold the edge of the crust over the pears.

7. 7

   Beat the egg in a small bowl, then brush over the crust. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the egg wash.

8. 8

   Bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

9. 9

   Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
