| 1 | Pears |
| 2 | Pumpkin Puree |
| 1 1/2 | Dried Figs |
| 1/2 | Brown Sugar |
| 1-2 | Pie Crust (Store-bought or Homemade) |
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Pie Crust
Place the pie crust into a pie plate, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
Step 3: Arrange the Pears
Slice the pears and arrange them evenly on the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 4: Bake the Pears
Bake the pears for approximately 20 minutes in the preheated oven, allowing them to soften slightly.
Step 5: Prepare the Filling
While the pears are baking, prepare the filling. In a blender or food processor, combine the pumpkin puree, soaked dried figs, and brown sugar.
Step 6: Blend Until Smooth
Process the mixture until smooth, ensuring the figs are fully incorporated into the pumpkin.
Step 7: Pour Over the Pears
Once the pears are partially baked, remove them from the oven and carefully pour the pumpkin-fig mixture over them, ensuring even distribution.
Step 8: Bake Again
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
Step 9: Serve
Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm or cold, accompanied by whipped topping if desired.
