Beautiful Pastry Recipe!

I was stuck in the house without all the ingredients for the filling, so improvised slightly there, but the pastry worked beautifully! I must also try it with a savory filling, but this was fairly similar to the apple recipe, except what I had on hand was Bosc pears instead of apples, and ground hazelnuts instead of walnuts. Apart from my also adding in a small handful of chopped, crystallized ginger, I remained faithful to the basic recipe process.
