A wide slice of this festive fruity pie is a great end to a delicious meal. The mellow flavor of pears is a refreshing alternative to the more common pies for the holidays. It's nice to serve a dessert that's a little unexpected. -Ken Churches, Kailua-Kona, HI

This is a very good pie. I added a half teaspoon of cinnamon to the pears and sprinkled the top crust with sugar.

I am not a big pear fan but when it I baked this I could have mistook this for apple pie if I would not have made this pie and someone else did.
