Fresh Pear Pie for 8 Slices

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Add chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or fork to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized lumps remaining.
3. Drizzle in ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough just begins to clump together.
4. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to prevent the crust from shrinking.
5. Toss sliced pears with lemon juice and zest in a large bowl to prevent browning.
6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
7. Pour the sugar mixture over the pears and toss gently until every slice is evenly coated in the spice blend.
