Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 large ripe pears, peeled and sliced
  • 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon 2% milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Add pears; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  2. Roll out one pie crust to fit a 9-in. pie plate; transfer to pie plate. Fill with pear mixture.
