Sour Cream Pear Pie
8 portions
75mThis pear custard pie is a recipe passed to me by a family friend and has been around a long time! Buttery, crumbly, creamy, and delicious. Works great with canned pears as well. The pie crust recipe will make two crusts, but once you roll it out into the pie pan, you can freeze it for whenever you need it next.
