Followed other reviews advice and left off the topping and let the pears cook without it for a while. Put the topping on the last 15 minutes. I was disappointed when the pears were still crunchy. Also didn't need to use 6 pears, I have about one and a half cut up with the sugar stuff all over, that I need to figure out what to do with it.

Absolutely delicious, and easy too! With a pre-made crust and the crumb topping, this is a very quick dessert that looks like a lot of effort was required. My sister declared it "Pie-fect!" and said it was the best pie she's ever had. Great dessert for the fall season.

Fantastic just as written! My family loved it and we will be taking free pears from family to make this again. I prefer the texture to the pear pies that have cream or eggs in the filling

This pie was awesome. I made this recipe because I like making things that are a bit out of the ordinary, and I had never even heard of a pear pie. I only did two things differently: I used pumpkin pie spice and extra cinnamon because I had no ginger, and I needed to add a bit more shortening to the crust because it was too dry to roll. I loved it, so did everyone who tried it. What a perfect way to start autumn!

First time we ever did a pear pie. WOW! I also cut back on the ginger and sprikled a little cinnamon on top. I think this is about the best fruit pie you can make.

Fabulous. This is delicious hot or cold. Putting the crumble on later in the baking let the pears get soft while not burning the crumble. I'll certainly be making this again!

This pie is good. I was looking for a recipe to do something with a bunch of pears that we were given. I have no idea what kind they were, but it turned out very good. I followed the recipe exactly since I have never made (or eaten!) a pear pie. We found it tasted very similar to my apple crumb pie. I would like to recommend that depending on the pear that you have, you may want to pre-cook them for a little bit. After an hour mine were still slightly crunchy. I wont lie, we ate the whole pie anyway. And again, since I don't often cook with pears, I'm not an expert on "cooked pear texture". Next time I have an abundance of pears, I will make this again!

Too Die for!!! The only thing I changed, was adding a 2 tablespoons each of butter and "real" maple syrup to the pear mixture. I love my pies rich! So yummy!!

This was an attractive and tasty pie (that used up some of the big harvest our pear tree produced this year!). I used a 10-inch tart pan instead of a 9-inch pie plate, so because of the greater surface area, I used a whole cube of butter plus 4 more tb of flour and 2 more of brown sugar for the crumb topping. I think 400 degrees was too high for the oven temperature after the crumb topping was on, it was too brown 5 minutes before baking time was up. My only complaint was the ginger, I used only 1/8 tsp, and it still seems like it dominates the flavor.

Only crumbs were left when I served this pie to friends at a potluck. It's competition was an apple crisp and the flavor was more subtle and spicy! Delicious!
