Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the 1 pie crust in a 9 inch tart pan, pressing into the edges. Trim excess and prick the bottom with a fork.
Step 2
Peel and core the 3 pears, then slice them thinly. Toss with 1 tbsp orange zest and 2 tbsp sugar in a bowl.
Step 3
Arrange the pear slices in a fan pattern over the crust. Dot with 2 tbsp butter cut into small pieces.
Step 4
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the pears are tender when pierced with a knife.
Step 5
Let cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with 0.25 cup chopped fresh mint leaves before serving.
