Pear pie with rosemary
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Whenever my nephews visit me, they know they'll be treated to delicious homemade sweets. And each time, I try to surprise them with something new. Not long ago, I made an incredibly tasty pie. I thought they wouldn't like it because it contains rosemary—a spice not typically used in sweet baking. But when not even a crumb was left, I was pleasantly surprised. The recipe for pear pie with rosemary is simple and easy to prepare. Serve it with tea or coffee.

Roll out the rested dough to a thickness of about 3 mm and carefully place it into the pan. Trim the excess dough from the edges. Cover the pan with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes. Then remove the paper and return the pie crust to the oven for another 10 minutes.
