How to Make Maggiano's Little Italy Spiced Pear Crostada Copycat
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pie crust to a 10-inch circle.
- Transfer each crust to a baking sheet or 8-inch tart pan.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced pears (or apples) with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and lemon juice.
- Arrange the pear (or apple) mixture evenly over the center of each pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Dot the fruit filling with small pieces of cold butter.
- Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, pleating as desired.
- Brush the crust edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar (optional).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
