    8      cups          thinly sliced peeled pears
      3/4  cup           sugar
      1/4  cup           quick-cooking tapioca
      1/4  teaspoon      ground nutmeg
                         Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inch)
    1                    egg -- lightly beaten
      1/4  cup           heavy cream -- optional
 
 In a large bowl, combine pears, sugar, tapioca and nutmeg. Line a pie plate
 with bottom crust; add pear mixture. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of
 pie; cut large slits in top. Place over filling; seal and flute edges. Brush
 with egg. Bake at 375 for 55-60 minutes or until the pears are tender.
 Remove to a wire rack. Pour cream through slits if desired.
