Pear pie with honey-lemon spiced glaze is a refined dessert of Italian cuisine, combining the freshness of ripe pears with the warmth of spices and the rich sweetness of honey. The pie's base is flaky pastry that highlights the juiciness of the fruits. The glaze made from eggs, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cloves gives the pie a rich flavor with a slight tang and spicy depth. Almond topping adds a nutty note and completes the harmony of taste. This pie is an ideal choice for cozy evenings, especially in cooler seasons when the aroma of cinnamon and honey fills the home with warmth and comfort. It can be served as a standalone dessert or complemented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even richer flavor experience.

We make flaky chopped dough. On a floured board, cut cold (!) butter into small cubes with a knife. We get buttery-floury lumps. Make a well, pour in ice water, and quickly (!) knead the dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Place it in a mold and send it to the freezer for 15 minutes.
