I used this for mother's day as something light and different. It was excellent! Similar to apple pie but without the sweet syrup. I tossed the pears with the sugar mixture like another reviewer mentioned. I also used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust which made this recipe even easier.

No one I knew had ever heard of pear pie but everyone really liked it. I used Bosc pears that were very ripe and they were a bit of a pain to peel plus I didn't really care for the consistency of them in the pie. The taste was good but I think next time I'll use them the same day I buy them.

Supereasy recipe. Used the deep dish Tenderflake pastry and had lots of pear and sugar mix leftover. Bosc pears work great.

This pie is a hit everywhere I take it. I much prefer it to apple. I brushed the crust with egg and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top--that gave it a good color and flavor. To make it healthier, I only used a top crust and replaced half the sugar with "blue" sweetener which didn't give it a sweetner taste. The only danger is I could eat the whole pie by myself!

I made this pie for our family holiday gathering and it was a bit hit. I used 7 pears to fill my pie crust (not deep dish)and served with vanilla ice cream. Wonderful recipe... Next time I will make 2 pies!

Very Good, but try to find very ripe pears otherwise you loosed the unique flavor. Most of my guests thought it was apple. Yummy nonetheless. PS adding nutmeg is great.

OK, I must say, pears do make super pies! I had so many pears from our pear tree and they don't ripe well, so I really wanted to make something that involves baking these pears. I followed the recipe except I tossed pears in sugar mixture and it was BETTER THAN APPLE PIE.

I don't like pie, but I love to make them. However, my family was raving so much about this I had to try a bite. WE LOVE IT!! I made a homemade crust for the bottom and used a cinnamon biscut drop batter for the top. (crust is why I hate pie). The spices are perfect..we didn't even need ice cream. Thank you so much for sharing! This one is a keeper!

This pie is fabulous and it's my first time baking! I halved the amount of sugar used because my dad has to watch his sugar intake, but the pie still turned out great (and even when I substituted the white sugar for brown). I found it helpful to make sure the pears were sliced thinly. We ate half of the pie fresh from the oven and I will definitely make this again. This one's a keeper.

I followed the recipe as written. Our neighbors gave us pears from their tree and I found this recipe to make. I took the pie over to their house and you should have seen the looks on their face. Pear pie? I think I will pass. They tried and said "it doesn't taste like pears, it tastes like apple pie. This is really good." I will definitely be making more this weekend as they gave me more pears. I will freeze and take several to work for a treat. I'm sure everyone will love it. Thank you. This is really delicious!!!

I was looking for a recipe to use some pears I had that were going to be past ripe before we had a chance to eat them. I'm glad I found this one! I made it a day ahead and then took it to an evening outdoor concert/picnic and it was great! The taste is not as sweet as an apple pie, and more elegant, if that makes since. I used fresh squeezed lemon juice and a little more zest than was called for. I served it with a dollop of cool whip and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top. Very tasty! I'll make it again.
