  • 6 cups thinly sliced peeled pears (6 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 teaspoons granulated sugar

Steps

    Heat oven to 425°F. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using 9-inch glass pie pan.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in ginger and lemon peel. Add pears; toss gently. Spoon into crust-lined pan. Dot with butter.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Ripe Anjou or Bosc pears work well for pies; choose fruit that is fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.
  • tip 2
    Serve this pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce.
