How to Make Almond Topped Pear Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Stir until smooth.
- Add 6 medium ripe pears (peeled, cored, and sliced) and toss gently until well coated.
- Pour the pear mixture into your 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup sliced almonds.
- Sprinkle the almond topping evenly over the pear filling.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 60-75 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the crust is cooked through. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
