Pear Crumble Pie

"I have been making this pie for years, daughter #2 loves it. We prefer ripe bartletts in this. The custard-y filling is not too sweet. The most time consuming step is the peeling of the pears!"

  1. Great tasting pie. It has just the right amount of sweetness. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Great pie! I had no idea you could make a pie with pears. Even though my pears were very ripe the finished pie looks just like TasterTester's pic's. A big thank you for posting the pic's ( made me decide to try the recipe). Thanks for sharing this true keeper!
     
  3. This is the best pie I've had in years. It's the first time anyone in our family had a pear pie, and what a taste treat. The pear slices didn't get mushy as some fruits can when cooked in a pie. And we loved the custard filling. I'm not a fan of baked goods that are overly sweet, so this worked perfectly. The custard and the filling really complemented each other, and I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe. I can't wait to make another one for our family and few more to bring to my oldest children who have grown up and moved out. Thanks for posting this!!
