Note

Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to let the filling set.

Use firm, ripe pears such as Bosc or Anjou for the best texture and flavor.

If using fresh crust, ensure it is chilled before rolling to prevent sticking.

For a crispier crust, place the pie on a preheated baking sheet.
