French Pear Pie
2
Ingrid F
"This is one of my family's greatest recipes. It is about 30 times better than apple pie, especially if you use fresh nutmeg. You can certainly substitute the pears for peaches too, if they're in season. Let cool or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

It was very good. Fresh Nutmeg is a must. Next time a little less sugar.

This was really good. My pears seemed a bit juicy, so I added just a little bit of flour to the pears before putting the crumb topping on. I also added a bit of ginger to the crumb topping. T...
