Easy and Delicious Pear Pie

September 10, 2012 by Mom on the Make 2 Comments

Delicious Pear Pie

I made a pear pie last night. Very yummy and Very easy!

This pie has a layer of custard under the sliced pears.

Almond extract is in the custard, and it complements the pear flavor so well.

I used Bartlett pears, and they were still not quite ripe.  I think pear pie is better when the pear is not super soft yet.

When the pears are placed on the custard and cooked in the oven, they become perfectly soft for the pie.

Just love this recipe.

Here’s how to make it:

    Do you prefer pear pie or apple pie? The pear pie should be high in fiber.

      I like both apple and pear pies-it just depends what I’m in the mood for that day. This particular pear pie has a custard at the bottom, so its very different than the apple pies I usually make. Because it has custard, it could actually be called a tart. I just checked the fiber comparisons, and you’re right, pears do have more fiber with 5.5 grams per serving vs apples with 4.4 grams per serving. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
