Let me serve you a piece of pie with my high heel! This is my favorite pie (cake or other dessert) server. I didn't know if I would like this pie but after taking the first bite, many bites later, I decided it was a keeper. Not too much in the sweet department, just creamy slices of pear with a sweeter crumble topping.
Ingredients: 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 cups peeled and sliced pears (about 5-6 pears)(I used Bartlett), 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell. Topping: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons flour. Add pears, and toss to coat. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla, lemon and almond extracts until the pears are evenly coated. Pour into the unbaked pie shell.
In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup flour and brown sugar. Mix in the butter with your fingers (or a fork) until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the pie.
Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until pears are tender and top is lightly browned.
