Pear Pie, with Cinnamon

Peel and cut in half eight medium, sound pears, remove the seeds, then finely slice them and place in a bowl. Season with one ounce sugar and a teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well. Line a lightly buttered pie plate with a thin pie paste. Place the pears in the pie plate, lightly egg the edges of the plate; cover the pears with another similar layer of pie paste; make a few small incisions on the surface, press down the two layers of paste around the border of the plate; lightly egg the surface. Set to bake in the oven for thirty minutes. Remove, let rest on a table for five minutes, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over and serve either hot or cold.
