1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground ginger

3/4 cup (190ml) maple syrup

8 cups (1kg) fresh pears, 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pour in the maple syrup and gently toss again to coat. Spoon into a 9" pie crust lined pie plate.
3/4 cup (190ml) maple syrup
Cut the second piece of pie crust into ten 1" stripes and weave into a lattice. You can also just simply place the pie crust on top and cut a few slits for ventilation. Press and crimp the edges.
1 homemade or store-bought double pie crust
Bake for 1 hour or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Use a pie crust shield if needed to prevent the edges from overbrowning. Let cool for 1 hour before serving.

*Ripe, yet firm Bartlett or Anjou pears are best.
