6 cups pears, peeled and cut

3 tablespoons spelt flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 pie crusts

First, begin by peeling and cutting your pears into slices or chunks.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.  Add pears and stir so that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed over pears.

Roll out crust in pie pan and add the pear mixture; the filling.  Dot with butter if you'd like.

Bake at 450F for about 20 minutes.

A note: I guess I should have explained this in the beginning, but it's a tradition of mine to bake Spenser a pie for his birthday.  He absolutely loves pie!  He's also one who always loves to try something new, so I usually try and make pies that aren't your usual apple, cherry, etc.  In the past, I've baked a bluebarb (mixture of blueberry and rhubarb)-18, raspberry and white peach-19, I didn't have time to bake one for his 20th (I had my hands full with a big surprise party. eek!), and now pear-21.
