Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh pears
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin slices. Arrange the pear slices evenly in the prepared pie crust.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the pear slices in the crust, ensuring the pears are adequately coated.
In a separate bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and cold diced butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sour cream and pear mixture.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the streusel topping is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
