Don't expect this old-fashioned dessert to last long. The delicate pears and irresistible caramel topping make it a winner whenever I serve it. It's nice to have a tempting fall cake that puts the season's best pears to excellent use. -Sharon Mensing, Greenfield, Iowa

This was easy and is so good. I had pears and had no idea what to do with them, so I looked online for a recipe. I'm so glad I came across this one.

This was a fantastic recipe. It will definately be going into my "favorites" recipe box. I didn't use the pecans because I don't care for them but this dessert tasted as though nothing was missing.

This was so easy and turned out great! I completely forgot the pecans and it was still delicious!! It does bubble up somewhat in the dish while baking, so be sure to use a deeper-sided 2 quart dish to prevent bubbling over. Thanks for this easy & delicious recipe!

I love to make this delicious and easy recipe when someone gives us pears from their trees.
