Ginger Pear Pecan Crumble Pie
A perfectly balanced pear pie with warm ginger and a crunchy, buttery pecan crumble.




Tender chunks of Bosc pear meet the gentle warmth of fresh and ground ginger in this fall-inspired pie. Cinnamon, brown sugar, and a touch of vanilla round out the filling, while a buttery pecan crumble adds a satisfying crunch. The result is a pie that's full of flavor without being overly sweet, allowing the natural sweetness of the pears to shine.
Unlike a traditional double-crust pear pie, this version features a generous layer of brown sugar crumble packed with chopped pecans. Melted butter creates golden, crunchy clusters that contrast beautifully with the tender fruit beneath. The ginger is noticeable without being overpowering, bringing just enough warmth and spice to complement the pears. It's a comforting fall dessert that proves a great pie doesn't need to be excessively sweet to be satisfying.
For a brighter, fruitier take on pear pie, try my [Pear Cranberry Crumble Pie]. The tart cranberries provide a delicious contrast to the sweet pears, and it's even better the next day.
