Cook Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 refrigerated pie crust (from 15-ounce package)

1 egg white, lightly beaten

3/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground

1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ginger, Ground

4 cup thinly sliced peeled pears (about 4 pears)

1 teaspoon sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare crust as directed on package. Place on foil-lined 12-inch pizza pan. If necessary, press out any folds or creases. Brush crust with about 1/2 of the beaten egg white.
