For an extra nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping. If your pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or use a pie shield. For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar in the crumble topping. If you don't have nutmeg on hand, you can use cinnamon or allspice instead.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a bowl, gently toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice to prevent browning. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a separate small bowl, combine the white sugar and freshly grated nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the pears and toss gently until evenly coated. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Carefully fit the unbaked pie crust into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed cold butter, light brown sugar, and all-purpose flour. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (7 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Spoon the pear mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pear filling. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to set the crust and start the caramelization. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the filling is bubbling and the crumble topping is lightly golden brown, approximately 35-40 minutes. (45 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. (30 minutes)
