PEAR PIE
Juicy pear pie
Pies simply are a real autumn treat. Even though it is the season of ripe apples, we must not forget about delicious pears. Pears are the most important ingredient in one of our seasonal fruit pie favourites.
Our juicy pear pie is easy and quick to bake. Contrary to a classic pie, our pear pie is soft - and we love it. The cream cheese filling is similar to a cheesecake texture, which matches well with the the crumbly, buttery crust.
Serve the piewarm with a side of creme fraiche, whipped cream or a good vanilla ice cream. If it is that time of day, enjoy the pie with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Enjoy!
