Roll the chilled pie dough into a circle big enough to cover the pan. Prick the pie dough with a fork and cover the pan with the pie dough. Trim the crust leaving room for shrinkage.7
Place on the grill and bake for 45 minutes or until pears are soft. The pears will be soft and most of the juice will evaporate and thicken.8
Let sit for 3 minutes. While pan is still hot, place a plate over pie and flip over. Slowly lift the plate.9
Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
