Brush edges of pastry sheet with egg wash and attach strips. Use a fork to prick bottom of shell, but do not prick borders. Place on baking sheet.

Sprinkle with sugar and spices. Brush top of borders with remaining egg wash, taking care not to let it drip over sides. Bake 25 minutes, or until pears are tender and borders are puffed and golden-brown. Serve warm drizzled with caramel sauce. This recipe yields 4 servings.
