1 whole Prepared Pie Crust
_____
FOR THE PIE FILLING:
2 whole Pears
2 Tablespoons Butter
3 pieces Crystallized Ginger Nuggets
1/4 cups Vanilla Sugar
3 cups Fresh Or Frozen (thawed) Blueberries
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cups Flour
_____
FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
3/4 cups Flour
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 cups Oatmeal
1/2 cups Cold Butter
1/2 cups Chopped Pecans

1
Purchase or prepare your favorite pie crust and set aside.
2
Peel the pears and chop into bite-sized pieces. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a dutch oven or deep skillet. Add in the chopped pears and stir for about 2 minutes, or just until they start to soften. While they are cooking, chop the crystallized ginger into tiny pieces. Add it to the cooking pears and stir to coat with butter. Sprinkle in the vanilla sugar, stirring constantly until a nice syrup forms.
3
Make sure the heat is on medium low and put on a lid. Cook until the pears are soft (but not mushy) and the syrup is thick, about 5 minutes. You'll want to stir it once in awhile so the sugar does not burn. Turn off the heat, remove the lid and allow to cool slightly.
4
While that is cooling, make the crumb topping. Finely chop the pecans and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and oats; cut in the butter until crumbly. Mix in the pecans.
5
By now the pear mixture has cooled slightly. Gently stir in the blueberries, stirring until coated with the syrup. Sprinkle on the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the 1/2 cup of flour. Once again, stir gently until everything is combined.
6
Spread the filling into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the crumb topping over all.
7
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
8
Allow to cool completely before cutting & serving. Garnish with whipped topping or ice cream if desired. This pie really does taste better the second and even the third day.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
