I used a plain Greek yogurt as it is much thicker than regular yogurt in place of the sour cream. Very, very good.

The sour cream is really nice on this! I would also try yogurt as well!

Perfect~ My friends mother from Spain made these while visiting and I couldn't wait to try these at home. They were delicious. I thickened the sauce a bit after baking to make it a little more "caramel" like.

This was great, and so easy. I omitted the nuts. When it came out of the oven, I removed the pears into bowls to serve, then mixed the sour cream in to the pan sauce to thicken the caramel, and poured it on top of the pears. It is the best caramel sauce I have ever made!

okay this has always been an excellent easy dessert in the past however- tonight i totally messed it up! in the past i used butter, cut the pears in slices, and used an 8x8 pan, ignoring the directions for a single layer. tonight after i made an amazing dinner, i totally thought i was gonna top it all off with this dessert. but my husband had accidentally bought margarine so i went ahead and used it. also i put the pears in one layer in a larger pan. for some reason it came out all wrong, with this weird flavor... i think ill stick to butter and the little pan next time, it turned out perfect then.

This is good, but I think I added a bit too much sour cream, which is probably my fault. I ended up not eating most of the sour cream. I also baked for 20 min, as that is all my pears needed. As usual, I didn't really measure but I went easy on the brown sugar and butter. It was slightly sweet but not too sweet. Thanks!
