Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then set aside.
Slice the pears into 1/16-inch thick pieces. Toss them in a large bowl with lemon juice, then add the sugar mixture and toss to coat.
On a large piece of parchment paper, roll out the pie crust into a 12-inch circle.
Arrange the pear slices in the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border, and drizzle with caramel.
Gently fold the edges over the pears, overlapping them as necessary, and brush the crust with egg wash.
Bake for 28-32 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool to room temperature before drizzling with additional caramel.
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use high-quality salted caramel.
Experiment with different spices like ginger or clove for added warmth.
Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste.
