Gigi’s Pear Crumble Pie

6 medium Bartlett pears, peeled
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
One 9-inch unbaked pastry shell
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon mace (can substitute ground nutmeg if mace is not available)
4 tablespoons butter
3 slices sharp Cheddar cheese, halved diagonally

Slice 5 of the pears and cut the remaining pear in sixths. Sprinkle pears with lemon juice.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and lemon zest. Stir this mixture into the sliced pears and spoon the pears into the prepared pastry shell. Arrange the 6 pear wedges spoke fashion on top of the sliced pears.
Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, ginger, cinnamon and mace (or nutmeg).  Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly, and sprinkle it over the pears.  Bake at 400° F. about 45 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Remove the pie from the oven, and cool it briefly on a wire rack. Arrange the cheese triangles over the warm pie and serve.
