Ingredients:

2 x 9” pie crusts (for bottom and top crusts), defrosted
3 lb. firm but ripe pears, peeled, quartered, cored, cut into 1/3-inch-thick wedges
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp quick-cooking tapioca
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp minced crystallized ginger
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lemon peel
2 tbsp whole milk
1 tbsp sugar

Directions:

1. Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Toss first 8 filling ingredients in large bowl to coat.

2. Transfer filling to crust. Place second defrosted crust over first and fold overhang, pressing to seal and form rim. Brush crust with milk. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar. Cut several slits in top to allow steam to escape during baking.

3. Place baking sheet on bottom rack to catch any juices that may bubble over. Bake pie on center rack until crust is golden brown and juices bubble thickly, tenting pie with foil if crust browns too quickly, about 1 hour. Transfer pie to rack and cool. Serve slightly warm.
