2. Prepare the Pear Filling:
   In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, ground ginger, water, dark corn syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir the mixture until well combined. Add the pear slices to the saucepan, making sure they are evenly coated with the mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Let it boil for 1 minute, allowing the filling to thicken slightly.

3. Assemble the Pie:
   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until it melts and is fully incorporated into the pear mixture. Pour the filling into your prepared pie shell, spreading it out evenly.

4. Make the Crumble Topping:
   In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and ground ginger. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans for an extra crunch.

5. Add the Topping and Bake:
   Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the pear filling in the pie shell. Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

6. Cool and Serve:
   Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This will give the filling a chance to set up and make it easier to slice.
