How to Make Sour Cream Pear Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in 4-6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 4 cups).
  4. Pour the pear mixture into a 9-inch pie crust.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. While the pie is baking, prepare the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven after 25 minutes.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the pie.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Leftover pie should be refrigerated.
  11. Enjoy! (But be warned, it might not last long!)
