How to Make Pear Crumble Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in 6-8 peeled and thinly sliced Bartlett pears (about 4 cups).
  4. Pour the pear filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes.
  6. While the pie bakes, prepare the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. After 40 minutes of baking, remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the filling.
  9. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
