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

12/14/2020 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.

03/17/2019 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.

10/02/2018 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!

12/25/2010 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.

11/20/2009 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!

10/16/2008 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.

02/08/2008 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!

11/25/2007 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!
