I made this pie for my family at and early Thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit! I modified a little by cutting the sugar in half and adding 1 tsp fresh grated ginger. I will be making this one again.

This is a wonderful recipe, I actually prefer pear pie to apple pie! I have made this pie for friends and family and every time I make it, ppl rave about it. Definitely a keeper and I like how is is a different twist on the traditional pie that ppl do not expect.

Great recipe! Very easy and quick! I made the crust fancy by using small fall leaf, acorn, and pumpkin cutters to border the edge of the pie. See my picture (#14). Love it! Thank you!

GREAT recipe! I am not even a pie person, but this was so yummy and fun to make! I did leave out the lemon zest but that is just personal preference. My husband ate it fresh out of the oven while I liked it better cold the next morning after it had been sitting in the fridge all night. Either way this is a delicious pie!

This pie is totally awesome !! I've made several pear pies and everyone who's tried it wants the recipe. I've never changed a thing on the recipe . I say never mess with perfection !!! Thanks so much Carol. I rated this 5 stars but would give more if I could.

I changed 1/2 the white sugar for brown sugar and mixed the sugar mixture in with the pears. It was fantastic!!

Enjoying this pie right now. Followed the recipe using Bartlett pear's and a store bought crust. Very good. The pears give the pie a very nice flavor similar to the apple pie, but with that distinct sweet pear taste.

Very similar to apple pie, but my pears didn't cook down like apples do. It was delicious, and I will make this pie again with produce from our pear tree!

I'm not a cook or a baker, but I made this pie late last night out of boredom and it turned out really good. I didn't use the zest but only because I didn't have any lemons on hand but other than that, the recipe was followed as is. Pear pie was a first for us. I think I willl be making it again. I highly recommend!

Yum. Pears were very cheap this week, and I decided it was time to try baking a pie with them. This came out great. It's similar to apple pie (flavor-wise), but still has that sweet, mild pear flavor. It was a huge hit with everyone, including two toddlers. The only change I made was, I mixed the pears with the flour, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Then, dotted it all with the butter.

My husband has said for a while that he loved Pear pie and so I wanted to surprise him and made this recipe. I followed the recipe and when it came out of the oven it looked amazing, however when we cut it to serve it there was so much liquid that the bottom crust was soggy. He said the flavor was good however there has to be a way to cut down on the moisture, would love any suggestions.

Great pie. Took it to friends house and they weren't sure if they wanted to try it. After the first bit they were surprised how good it was. Will make this again.
