1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep pears: Peel, core, and slice pears thinly. Toss in a bowl with lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and sweetener of your choice. Sprinkle in cornstarch if pears are very juicy.
3. Arrange pear slices neatly over the store-bought crust like you’re creating edible fan-art. Pour any leftover juices on top.
4. Dot with vegan butter pieces. Bake 35–40 minutes until pears are tender and crust is golden.
