This was delicious! It came out perfect. The pears were not mushy, but nice and firm. I had never heard of pear pie before I made this, and was very curious to see what one would taste like. I admit I was a little disappointed that it tasted a lot like apple pie, albeit a very good apple pie. I made it for a church dinner, and it was a hit. One lady, who told me pear pie was her favorite, complimented me on it. When I confided that I was a little disappointed it tasted like apple, she laughed and said, "Yes, only better!". I think she's right!

The church that I attend has started a pie night for women once a month. For the first pie night, I made this pie, back in September, sorry for the delay in posting. all the ladies were so intrigued with pear pie, no one had even heard of it. One lady in particular loved it and took home half of the pie and the recipe and left me with one piece for my husband. Every year I get a bushel of pears to can and I will be making this once a year for sure.

What else needs to be said about this pie?? Its wonderful and will become a regular based on my families comments. Everyone loved it, I took this along with an apple pie and this was the hit of the evening. Thank you for posting this wonderful easy recipe. TIP:: cover the edges of the crust, mine became very dark even with the guards on the crust.
