📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the pie: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie plate (not deep dish). Tuck the edges of the crust under and crimp as desired. Refrigerate for ⏱️ 30 minutes (or freeze for ⏱️ 15 minutes).
2
Line the pie crust with parchment paper or foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are very lightly golden, 18 to ⏱️ 22 minutes. Remove the pie weights and parchment. Using a fork, prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust a few times to keep it from puffing. Return the crust to the oven and bake until the crust is set, dry, and very lightly golden, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes more. Let cool to room temperature. Reduce the oven to 375˚F.
3
For the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, almonds, and crystalized ginger. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter, stirring with a fork until combined.
4
In a large bowl, mix together the pears, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and flour. Transfer the pear mixture to the pie crust and sprinkle with the streusel topping.
5
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the topping is golden brown and the crust is deeply golden brown, ⏱️ 50 minutes to ⏱️ 1 hour.
6
Let the pie cool completely, at least ⏱️ 3 hours. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
