Who does not love a good pear? But we have a little problem in our house… As soon as we buy some, the kids eat them with in a day or two…. So, Luckily I was given a quite a few the other day. More than what the kids could finish!! Yes!!! 😂 A pear-fect excuse to bake this delicious Pear Custard Pie.
This recipe is really easy to make. If you have little ones in the house, that is eager to help, this is a good recipe to make with them. The most work is cutting up the pears, the rest of the ingredients are just measured and dumped into a mixing bowl then mixed together. How easy is that?
This pear custard pie has a creamy custard like batter mixed in with some juice fresh pears… A perfect combination!
Enjoy!
