Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; set aside.
Slice the pears thinly, toss them with lemon juice, then add the sugar mixture and coat well.
Roll out the pie crust into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper or a baking mat.
Place the pear mixture in the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border, and drizzle with salted caramel.
Gently fold the edges of the crust over the pears, overlapping as necessary, and brush with egg wash.
Bake for 28-32 minutes until golden brown, then allow to cool to room temperature and drizzle with more caramel before serving.
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

For an added crunch, sprinkle nuts on top before baking.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious pairing.
Ensure pears are ripe for best flavor and tenderness.
