Line a 9-inch pie dish with the vegan pie crust, crimping the edges.
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, toss the pears with maple syrup, cornstarch, chai spice blend, and salt.
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to macerate.
Assemble and Bake
Transfer the pear mixture into the prepared crust and dot with cubed vegan butter.
Top with a second crust or lattice, seal the edges, and cut vents for steam.
Bake for 45–50 minutes until the crust is golden and filling bubbles around the edges.
Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
My testing note: macerate the sliced pears for 30 minutes to deepen the spiced aroma.Let the baked pie cool completely for at least an hour so the filling sets cleanly.Store pie slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
