This recipe was as delicious as it was easy. I substituted some of the sour cream with low-fat yogurt and added currants. Everyone who tasted it raved about it. Will be using this recipe a lot.

We thought this was very good too. I made it like pudding in small individual ramakins and didn't mess with the crust at all. Added crushed pecans to the mix as my pears were real ripe and kind of mushy and I wanted some texture. I didn't have lemon extract so used a little lemon peel. I did put a little cinnamin in with the topping, but no other changes. I liked the slight almond flavor. I would love to try this with other fruit as one reviewer suggested. Very easy and a keeper.

I really wasn't that impressed with this... it was better chilled but not much... I won't make it again. Just an ok recipe in my opinion

I agree with the previous rater who was in the minority. If zero stars were available that's what I've give this. Not only my opinion but that of the 3 adults in our house. A waste of my time and ingredients. Flavorless filling, even though I used ripe Bartletts. I don't think even adding some spices would help.

Clearly I am in the minority, but if it was possible to give zero stars, that's what this recipe would get.

This was soooooo good! I will defenitely make this pie again. For the crust I used the "Best Ever Pie Crust" recipe, a very simple recipe but very tasty too.

I never knew what to do with all the pears on our pear tree, but now I do! I also doubled the crumble for the topping and it was easier to use softened margarine instead of melted.

While living in Japan I found a great love for the Nashi/pearapple grown there. Luckily, they are imported to Australia, where I am living now. I bought a whole box and needed a recipe to cook some of them. I found this recipe and it is the ONE!!! I only made one change in that I added some apple pie spice, it was wonderful. I made it for my sewing group and it was a hit. I am now making copies for everyone! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!!

Different but really good. I was short on sour cream, so I used cottage cheese blended smooth instead. This would be good with other fruit. Next time I will try pineapple.

Delicious light pie. I might advise, though, to precook a little bit pastry, for I've had big troubles taking the pie out of the pan. I omitted lemon extract, but may add lemon zest next time. The filling is absolutely excellent "plain" as well.

Huge hit! I used overripe Bartlett pears and it came out delicious and with a great texture. A light taste and extremely easy to make.

Great tasting pie! Wonderful use of extra pears on hand! Doubled topping and used softened butter instead of melted butter, cutting in with pastry cutter. Terrific pie! Will serve to guests!

Was an excellent way to use up the ripe pears I had on hand. I did make extra of the crumb topping for the pie...and had to cook it a bit longer as the pears that weren't as ripe took longer to soften.

Delectable! The topping is great. Make extra! The almond extract makes the flavour so smooth! Not a bad choice healthwise, too!

I enjoyed this pie. it is simple to make and seemed to be a hit. for the crumb mixture i found that i needed 1/2 cup instead of 1/4c. it was pasty not crumbly with 1/4c.

My family enjoyed this. I also made more topping. My daughter thought the almond conflicted with the pear flavor. The next time I added an extra 1/2 tsp. of vanilla and omitted the almond. I liked both versions. I used Bartletts as we have a tree. Nice when the tree is full.
