Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough for bottom crust; place in a 9-inch pie plate. Press to fit without stretching dough; trim edges until even with pie plate.

Step 2

Combine pears, apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Spoon into prepared pie crust.

Step 3

Roll out dough for top crust. Place onto filled pie or cut into strips creating a lattice top. Trim 1/2 inch beyond the edge and fold under bottom crust edge to seal. Crimp and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust or prick with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
