Custard Pie
This pear dessert is mostly hands-off, so you can get the rest of dinner ready while it cooks in the oven.

So delighted with this - super easy, pretty presentation, and delicious. I also like that it features the natural sweetness of the fruit and isn't too sugary. I made it with oat milk because that's all I had on hand, turned out great.

I made it exactly as directed and loved it. The pears seemed rather juicy, so I did extend the bake time by 5 minutes to make sure that the center was properly baked. It turned out perfectly.

The is very easy and delicious. I made this in individual tart pans, sprinkled on cinnamon and cardamom, and reduced the baking time to about 17 minutes. Came out great!

Ya'll..... please don't laugh, but I did not want to make my planned sweet potato pie, so I made this without the pears. just the custard. I really like it too. So easy and much less work.

I made this last night and it was delicious! I swapped apples for pears - I used two apples (one large and one small). Two layers of overlapping apples. Wonderful. I can't wait to make it again soon!

I love this recipe, but the bake time is too long. I only bake it 20 to 25 minutes and its perfect. Could the bake time be a typo.

I made this and it was an absolute hit! I think next time I'm going to swap out the pears and place apples instead with some freshly ground cinnamon. So simple to make!

Easy to make. Everyone raved about it at Thanksgiving because it was refreshing and not too heavy or sweet. I will be making this again and again!
