Definitely add about 1 tsp vanilla extract. Otherwise, a yummy way to use up some pears!

This was really yummy. Both the crust & the custard were great but the custard was a little too sweet for my taste so I will reduce the amount of sugar next time. Also, I will make my pear slices bigger next time as my small ones sunk very quickly into the custard.

I have made this several times now, with different ready-bought crusts, and it always comes out yummy!! The only thing I change is I use half the sugar, but that's a personal preference. One time I really wanted pie but all I had around was canned pineapple, so I used that instead of pears... works great! So fast and easy! =)

Excellent, everyone loves this recipe when I make it. They can't figure out what it is, it's just too good. Substituted honey for the sugar.

This was very pretty, but not as tasty as it looked. I found it bland and there was not enough pear flavor. The almond was good, and I added vanilla, but it needed something more - perhaps cinnamon? It also needs a higher filling to crust ratio. I'd recommend Pear Pie III on this site if you want something similar, but better.

Good pie! I also used brown sugar and only half the almond extract + vanilla. Very tasty!

It was my first time making a custard pie and it turned out very delicious! My mother can't have too much sugar so i used half a cup this time and it tasted great - it made room for the flavor of the pears. I would take out the pie when the custard is just starting to firm, as i overcooked mine a bit. But it all depends on what your preference is for the custard - i like mine tender.

This was awesome!! Brought it into work, a co-worker said this was probably the best thing I'd ever brought in. My only tip would be, definitely use a homemade crust, not one of those store bought frozen ones.

Delicious. Followed the suggestions of others re using brown sugar and half vabilla half almond essence. Did not bake in a pie crust - did not want the extra calories, and although did not serve up quite as attractivly as a result, was still very tasty indeed. I might next time add some cinnamon as well?? Definately a keeper!

This recipe was good. However, I followed one of the reviewer's recipe. I used 6 pears, 1/3 cup butter and 1/3 cup sugar. Next time, I think I would use cinnamin in the custard. I did sprinkle cinnamin and sugar on the top of the pie once it came out of the oven. It gave it a little more flavor. My husband LOVED it!

A wonderful way to use all of the pears from our trees! I have made it 2 ways, once with almond extract and once with vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon- the vanilla version definitley got more votes in my household! I also sprinkled a bit of cinnamon sugar on top for color- it was wonderful!

This is a delicious pie! I never thought of combining pears with a custard pie, but it is perfect. I think it's a great dessert for holidays.

This pie was alright...it takes a while to get used to that eggy flavour, but it was really between three and four stars. My hubby didn't like it at first, but the next day he finished the whole thing himself!
