Course: Dessert
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 2 gallettes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 T flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp dried ginger
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • 5 cups peeled and sliced pears
  • 1 T butter cold and cut into 4-6 pieces
  • 1 box refrigerated double pie crust
  • 1 egg saved for the end

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine filling ingredients together in a big bowl, leaving out the pears and cold butter for later.
  • Now toss the pears in the filling to coat.
  • Roll out the pastry crust on the baking sheet and pour 1/2 of the filling onto the center of each crust. From the outside, gently fold in the outer 2 inches. Fold crust in towards the middle, creasing about 6-7 times in the same direction.
  • Pat the cold butter onto the top of the pear filling.
  • Beat an egg and brush the outer crust with egg, then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  •  Bake at 400° F for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
