3. To make and fill the pie: Line a 9-inch pie pan with one of the pastry crusts, and set aside. Place the sliced pears in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and flour then sprinkle over the pears. Mix to coat the pears well. Place half of the pear filling into pastry-lined pie pan. Scatter evenly with the walnuts then layer in the remaining pears. Drizzle the filling evenly with the glaze, then scatter the crumbled blue cheese over the filling.

4. Top the pie with the second crust. Seal and flute the edges with your fingertips. Make several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. For a pretty top, brush the crust lightly with milk and then sprinkle lightly with coarse sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes more, or until the crust is golden and the filling is cooked through.
