If I could rate this higher I would. This was so good! I think I ate most of it myself and only shared a little with the family! If you like apple pie but want to try something different-this is for you! The pears make it so much smoother than apple pie.Yum! Yum! Yum!

Very good pie. Followed the reviews by using brown sugar and doubling the spice. Took one pie to work and everyone seemed to like it.

Delicious! I use brown sugar instead of white and for a yummy add-on, i sprinkle grated Gruyere, Swiss or Edam cheese on top crust. When the pie is warm, it's like heaven!

I made this pie just the other day. I followed the recipe exactly, but it turned out just okay. It seemed like it was just a weak apple pie. I would rather have the real thing. Not enough of a flavor punch. Thanks for the recipe, though. Always nice to try new things.

I made two of these today for a potluck tomorrow, but 6yod snitched part of the crust off one, so we got to eat it ourselves. :-) My husband proclaimed it his absolute favorite pie ever. Fabulous recipe!

This recipe is superb! I was surprised that my picky husband, and unofficial apple pie critic, enjoyed this so much. It was gone the next day. The lemon adds a most wonderful flavor--I even added some zest for extra zip. Yum! Why people are so nuts about apple pie is beyond my comprehension, for we now feel that pear pie is superior in every way! Thanks for the recipe!!

I have made this pie so much by request of friends and family that I know it by heart! It has been a taste sensation where ever I take it. The flavor is delicate at first, with a slight tang and everyone thinks it's apple at first until they take a second or third bite, then they arn't sure. Sooner or later they are guessing everything under the sun except pears. Then they want the recipe.

Very delicate taste. Followed directions to a "T". Never had pear pie before and it was good but I think I prefer apple pie better. Thanks for letting me try.

I consider myself a pretty good cook, but not a very good baker. Also, I don't like anything too sweet. May that's why I liked this so much. It was easy and delicious, and my husband, who DOES like sweets, loved it too.

I left out the lemon juice, and the pie turned out extremely dry. Next time I will add the lemon juice, and hopefully it will make a difference. Otherwise, it had a nice light taste, and was great warm with vanilla ice cream (which helped counter the dryness).

Followed the recipe to a T and it ended up good looking and tasty. However, spices may be, in my opinion, at least doubled (1/2 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 cinnamon). I may also try to use brown sugar instead of white one. Otherwise great pie.

Who knew that pears would make such a lovely pie? I had ripe pears that were almost too ripe to eat and seached for a recipe so I didn't have to toss them out. I was so surprised at how tasty the pie was. The pears lend a delicate, but distinct flavor. Almost apple like, but better. Sweet, but not overpowering. This is a very nice recipe. I did add a couple tablespoons of Frangelico liqueur on top of the pears before baking. It gave the pie a slighty nutty tone. Wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!
