This delightful slab pie is as simple to make as it is perfect for sharing with a crowd.

  4. Place remaining mixture in pan, crumbling pieces to cover bottom of pan evenly and patting down with hands.
  5. Roll some dough into thin ropes to create sides and press lightly to seal to bottom.

  12. Return pie to oven and bake additional 20 minutes until crust is baked through and pears are softened.
