Slow Cooker Spiced Pear Pie

This cosy dessert is well worth the wait. You'll slow-cook pear slices until they're soft and naturally sweet, covered in an autumnal combination of ingredients, including cinnamon, ginger and mixed spice. The sauce will be thick and rich when the time comes to bake the lightly spiced filling in the oven, topped with an irresistible lid of flaky puff pastry. Get comfy and serve with a generous pour of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for a gorgeous midweek treat.
