Rustic Pear Tart

"I call this the Lazy Apple Pie!  In this case, the Lazy Pear Pie!  I used Bartlett pears in this recipe instead of apples simply because they were on sale at the store!"

1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 box)
2 pears, peeled and sliced (about 1/4 in. thick)
3 tbsps of butter, melted
1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of light brown sugar, loosely packed
2 tbsps of all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
                                                                         1 egg, beaten
                                                                         granulated sugar, for sprinkling

     Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.  Unroll pie crust onto cookie sheet.  Using a fork, poke holes in the crust to prevent rising while baking.  Set aside.  In a medium bowl, place the pear slices, butter, vanilla, and salt and stir together.  Then, add the brown sugar and stir in.  Let set for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the flour and cinnamon.  Then, add to the pears and stir to combine.  Pour the pears into the middle of the pie crust, leaving about a 1 1/2 in. border.  Then, in a random fashion, gather the pie crust edges and cover the edges of the pear slices, as shown in the picture.  Brush the egg onto the pie crust, then sprinkle with the sugar.  Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown (if the crust begins to brown too quickly, just cover the edges with a bit of aluminum foil).  Cool and enjoy!
