Pear Custard Pie image

This pear custard pie recipe may become my go-to fall recipe. I loved the creaminess of the custard and the slight crunch from the pears. With the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg you have all my favorite fall spices in one dessert. I tried this warm and chilled - it was delicious both ways.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 9" unbaked pie shell
5 Tbsp flour, divided (3 & 2)
3 Tbsp brown sugar, or Splenda brown sugar
2 pears, cubed or sliced thinly
1 can(s) (12 oz) can evaporated milk
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 c white sugar or Splenda granular
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1 pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl combine brown sugar and 3 Tbsps. of flour. Sprinkle evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Arrange pears in shell (slices arrange radiating out). I cube and slice and just drop in most the time. Be sure not to overfill so there is room for custard.
  • 2. In medium bowl whisk together evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Then pour over pears. To prevent overspilling do not overfill pie. If you want it full be sure to line bottom of oven with foil or use a deeper dish.
  • 3. In a small bowl combine remaining flour, sugar and spices. Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
  • 4. Bake for 45 minutes at 425 or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
