Ingredients

• •1 premade pie crust (or homemade, approximately 9 inches in diameter)
• •3 medium ripe pears, thinly sliced
• •2 tablespoons maple syrup
• •1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• •1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• •1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• •1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• •1 tablespoon cornstarch
• •1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• •1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)
• •2 tablespoons honey
• •1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• •1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the pear slices, maple syrup, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat evenly.

3. 3

   Roll out the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet.

4. 4

   Arrange the spiced pear slices in the center of the crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.

5. 5

   Fold the edges of the crust up and over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic edge.

6. 6

   Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.

8. 8

   While the galette is baking, prepare the lemon thyme honey drizzle. In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat, then stir in the lemon juice and fresh thyme leaves. Remove from heat and set aside.

9. 9

   Allow the galette to cool slightly before drizzling the lemon thyme honey mixture over the top.

10. 10

    Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
