Ingredients

1 sheet prepared boxed pie crust (not in a tin), thawed if frozen

3 firm-ripe pears, preferably Anjou or Bartlett (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced crosswise, seeds cut out with a small round cutter or paring knife

Pinch of kosher salt

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon caramel sauce, divided

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll pie crust onto a piece of parchment, then roll out to a 13"-diameter circle. Transfer dough on parchment to a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
Toss pears, salt, and 1/2 cup caramel sauce in a medium bowl until pears are coated. Arrange pears over crust, leaving a 1 1/2" border, piling them up as you go. Pour any caramel sauce left in bowl over pears.
Step 3
Fold crust up and over edges, overlapping as needed. Bake galette until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 55–60 minutes. Whisk remaining 1 Tbsp. caramel and 1 Tbsp. hot water in a small bowl and brush over pears with a pastry brush. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.
