Year of the Pie - Pie #22 Sour Cream Pear Pie

Pie # 22
Sour Cream Pear Pie

Ingredients

• 1 - 9 inch unbaked crust
• 2 C. thinly sliced peeled pears ( the pears I used were fresh and not quite fully ripened, my sister, who shared this recipe with me last year uses canned pear halves and then slices them thin)
• 1/2 C. sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 T. flour
• 1 C. sour cream
• 1 t. vanilla
• dash of salt

Mix together the ingredients and then gently stir in the pears and pour into the crust.
Bake for 25 minutes @ 350°

Now add the crumb topping, which is this:

• 1/2 C. sugar
• 1/3 C. flour
• 1/4 C. butter, really soft/melted

Mix it together and sprinkle on top of the pie.
Bake another 30 minutes at the same temperature.

While it is baking send some Christmas cards and do a bit of knitting.
Remove the baked pie from oven and let it cool.

I took this pie to our Tuesday gathering and everyone seemed to like it. It is to be eaten cold. We three tried it the night before while it was warm and it was o.k. then too. So I guess it would be your preference.
We give this pie

Until Next Time
