PREVIOUS: Almond Cake NEXT: Rustic Pear Tart

Ingredients (5)

  • Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 3/4 cups plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups sliced peeled fresh pears (about 4 medium)
  • 3 tablespoons sliced almonds

This recipe I like to call my “pie without a pan”, it is simple to make and so tasty. Great time of year for pears! This dessert is great served with vanilla ice cream.
