Pear Custard Pie image

This crustless pie is an easy dessert to prepare from scratch. It's perfect for fall, when pears are at their peak. And because it has a custard base, it needs no accompaniment.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pie dish
3 ripe but firm Comice or Bartlett pears, peeled, halved, and cored
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F; butter a 9-inch pie dish. Slice the pears 1/4 inch thick lengthwise. Arrange the slices, overlapping slightly, in the dish.
  • In a blender, process the melted butter, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla, eggs, milk, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the batter over the pears; bake until golden and firm to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
