Rustic and full of flavor, this pear galette uses maple syrup in both the filling and glaze. The flaky crust encases tender, caramelized pears for a dessert that looks impressive but is deceptively simple. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients (for 6 servings):

• 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 3 ripe pears, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp maple syrup, divided
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Toss pear slices with 2 tbsp maple syrup, flour, and vanilla.
3. Roll the crust into a circle and place the pears in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
4. Fold edges over pears, brush crust with egg wash, and bake for 35–40 min. Drizzle with remaining maple syrup before serving.
