This pie is a favorite with my family. I make it a lot for Mother’s Day and birthdays. It’s a different flavor, and a nice change from the ordinary.

Recipe Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pears, drained and chopped
  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 In a medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon and salt. Mix in the egg and sour cream until smooth. Add pears, and stir gently until coated. Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust.
  3. 3 Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. While the pie is baking, make the topping in a medium bowl. Stir together the sugar and flour. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over the pie.
  4. 4 Bake for an additional 30 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

    Very tasty! But I wonder if this freezes well at all? I made little tartlets with this recipe for a Bible study which got cancelled last minute and now have 2 trays of these tarts. Anyone tried freezing these? SO I did freeze them and they did turn out well after I reheated them in - Read more ...

    This is a scrumptious pie! The topping was especially lovely...I added some almond extract which really gave it something special. I didn't have graham crackers so I made a crust in my food processor with brown sugar melted butter flour salt vanilla extract almonds and candied ginger. The pie was a little runny when I - Read more ...

    I don't like pears but I made this pie for a friend and I really enjoyed it. So far its always been a hit everytime I've made it. It can be time consuming because you crumble the crust on half way. and I always broil the top for 2 mins approx otherwise it doesn't brown. - Read more ...

    I think this pie is fantastic. It's such a unique flavor! My husband daughter and parents love it but my sister-in-law finds it too rich. Personally I didn't think it too rich at all. Definitely a recipe to try at least once!

    Very good! I let it bake until the topping turned golden (beware of possible drippage). A little whipped cream on top and you're set with a refreshing dessert.

    I made this pie for family and everyone really liked it. Only problem was it bubbled up and over the pie pan. Was quick and easy to make especially since you use canned pears. I have never made a pie with canned fruit but this was pretty tasty.

    Different strokes for different folks. I thought it was way too sweet and threw it out.
