If you don’t like these, substitute your preferred beans. beans without sugar that are tasty. Although I enjoy the spicy flavor of Tabasco®, you might want to cut back on it to lessen the blister.

Reviews
This was great. Have made it several times now. I prefer the pears being very ripe for this dish. I only used 3 large pears and it filled the pie crust. It set up well in the time stipulated and was not too sweet. After the first cooking time I covered the edge of the crust to cook the topping, as it was already browning.
Easy recipe, tastes delicious!
I added peaches and pears and it come out amazing!
Great pie! I love trying different pies and this one got a lot of compliments. I made it as is except that baked the pie crust for about 7-8 minutes before I added the mixture.
Followed this recipe exactly, the pie turned out delicious! We will be making this again.
This pie has mellow flavor. Really good with the sour cream. Kinda of like custard .. I loved it and will definitely make it again.
I made this pie today. It is a beautiful pie. It is very bland. It was good but lacking. It may also need a longer cook time.
My family loves this recipe!
Amazing! I can’t believe I made this. I would order this in a restaurant. Followed the recipe as is. The oatmeal topping is a nice touch compared to just a flour butter sugar crumb topping. I have printed multiple copies for future generations.
Have made this pie many times and it is always a winner. The only change I make is to use an extra pear. This is just so darn easy and good.
This is my first review on allrecipes 🙂 This pear pie turned out really great. I also made the pie crust and just a tip, go with a traditional safe butter crust for this pie. The flavors are too delicate for it to be overwhelmed by any flavors in the pie crust (I used bacon grease and butter, next time I will only use butter). I would highly suggest you wait until the pears are VERY ripe as the original poster said…I didn’t wait, and I should have. It just helps with the texture of the pie to be soft and easy to cut with a fork or spoon. Anyway, great flavors, the topping and sour cream custard add something very unique with the pears. The flavors go very well together. Will recommend, but with an all butter crust and when the pears are very ripe. Good thing I still have extra pears! I served it with plain homemade whipped cream 🙂 Would be great with vanilla ice cream! (Oh and I replaced white sugar with brown in the topping and added some cinnamon!)
The most amazing pie I have ever made. I also added a small crab apple.
I’m always on here and never rate. So that should tell you how good this pie is. I followed the recipe and added lemon juice to the pears and lemon zest to the filling. I arranged pears decoratively on top to make it pretty. The flavors are amazing!!!! I will be making this for future parties.
This is a good pear pie. It is. Even though there is sour cream in it, it isn’t all that creamy – as in rich tasting. It’s still light with pear being the star. The ripeness of the pears were the type that when you peel them, they’re wet – not dripping, soft wet; but slippery. I used one additional pear, 1/4″ slices. This pie has the sweetness level of the pears – so woo-hoo a low sugar dessert that’s good! Woo-hoo! 😀 I didn’t make the crumble topping since planned to make the caramel drizzle listed in a review. ‘Still a pretty pie though. Mine too 15 – 20 minutes more. I’m thinking with it being such a wet pie, the temp should be higher. I thought about upping it, but didn’t. No big deal, but I will next time. I’m thinking of peaches, instead of pears, with raspberry sauce next summer! Mmmmm! 🙂
Made this according to recipe and it was awesome! My husband LOVED it. I will make again!
I did not have a pie plate handy. I used a 2 qt oblong casserole dish. My pears were very ripe, so no par boil required. I followed the instructions exactly with no alterations. WOW. Flavor is amazing! I will be making this next Sunday to take for ‘dinner on the grounds’ at our church. Thank you Therapflu for such a fabulous recipe!
Wonderful recipe! I made individual mini pies but followed the recipe and took the advice of boiling the pears first since they weren’t that ripe…perfect!
This pie is really good. I realized that I forgot the flour in the custard part and it still worked. I used a half a lemon on top if the pears while I put the crust together. I par baked the crust for about 10 minutes. I also used almond extract as well as vanilla. I made in a rectangular Pyrex pan. I used brown sugar in the topping instead of white. Yum yum.
This is a very good pie and very easy to make. I liked the taste quite a bit but I gave it four stars because it needed something-more spice, more cinnamon, something to give it a kick into amazing. Also the crumble topping was excellent.
I just love this recipe… im making it tonight AGAIN… family just loves it…
This pie is awesome! My pears were on the verge of rotting so I was scared they were gong to be mealy/mushy after being cooked but they weren’t (I left the slices fairly thick to further prevent this)! There are some awesome flavors going on in this pie.
