Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the dough, and roll out to 10 × 15 inches. Cut into two 7 1/2 × 10-inch rectangles. Place on baking sheets; refrigerate until cold.
Step 2
Stir pears, cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and spice powder in a bowl.
Step 3
Transfer 1 rectangle of dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Spoon fruit mixture onto dough, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Brush border with beaten egg. Lay remaining dough over filling; press gently to seal. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Transfer to a room-temperature rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment.
Step 4
Trim edges, and brush top with beaten egg. Cut five 5-inch vents in top. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake, rotating once, until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pie to a wire rack; let cool 20 minutes before serving.
