Ingredients

For the Pear Filling

2-3 pears, peeled, sliced ¼" thick (can use 2 cans of pears when not in season)

Instructions

For the Pear Filling

Preheat oven to 350° and place pie crust onto small baking pan 8 x 8 or 7 x 11. Poke bottom 4 or 5 times with a fork.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix all ingredients except pears.
Pour into prepared baking dish.
Peel, seed, slice pears and arrange slices evenly on top of filling.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven.

Sprinkle evenly on top of pears and bake for 30-40 minutes or until set.
Remove from oven and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate. Best serve cold.

Notes

Tips

It's important to prick the pie crust several times to ensure it doesn't bubble up as it bakes.
Prepare and slice your pears when ready to add them to the recipe to avoid browning.
While the thick filling doesn't make the crust soggy, you can still par-bake it if you prefer.
Bring your sour cream and eggs to room temperature for easier, more complete mixing.
