    Pinterest image for pear pie.

    Who doesn't love pie? The recipe for easy Pear Pie has ginger, orange marmalade, and a little bit of lemon mixed with fresh d'anjou pears. This is topped off with a delicious, crisp, crumb topping.

    This pie recipe is one that I like to make during the holiday season. Other holiday pie recipes we enjoy are Fresh Butternut Squash Pie and Red Hot Cinnamon Apple Pie.

    Why we love this recipe

    • This Ginger Pear Pie is an excellent alternative to apple pie.
    • We love making pies with fresh produce.
    • The flavor is outstanding!

    Recipe Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients for pear pie.
    • 9" unbaked pie shell
    • Orange marmalade
    • D'Anjou Pears
    • Lemon zest and juice
    • Ginger (fresh or jar minced)
    • Flour
    • Sugar
    • Cinnamon
    • Salt
    • Butter

    I used a store-bought pie crust. They are easy to use and pretty good. If you want to make your crust, you can try my recipe for Buttery Pie Crust.

    Step-by-Step Directions

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

    Sliced pears, ginger, lemon and flour in a mixing bowl.

    Step 1 - Wash, dry, core, and slice the pears. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and ginger. Pour the lemon and ginger mixture over the sliced pears. Mix together the pear pie filling.

    Step 2 - Spread the orange marmalade over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.

    Step 3 - Layer the prepared pear pie filling into the pie shell.

    Step 4 - Add the flour, sugar, butter, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.

    Step 5 - Heap the crumb topping over the top of the pear pie. It helps to have a piece of parchment paper or foil under the pie to help with clean-up.

    Bake the pie at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat and continue to bake for about 40 minutes. The pie will be golden brown.

    Cool the pear pie completely before slicing. I store this pie in the refrigerator. Pear pie tastes delicious by itself, but you can also top it off with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

    Recipe Faq's

    Do pears need to be peeled for pie?

    Peeling pears is a personal preference. I like using d'anjou pears in this recipe and I leave the peel on.

    What is the best way to cut pears for pie?

    Slice the pear in half and remove the center core. Slice the pears or use a mandolin if you have one.

    Does pear pie need to be refrigerated?

    I always refrigerate my pear pie because I know we will enjoy it for several days. If I know that the pie will be eaten within a day or so, I might leave it loosely covered on the counter.

    Mom Tip

    If you are planning to travel and take a pie to a family gathering, make the pie in an aluminum pie pan. That way, you don't need to remember to bring your pie plate back home.

    Also, for traveling, use a pie carrier or a box to carry the pie in so it doesn't slide around the car.
