Ingredients

• 4 medium fresh pears
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust (or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin slices. Arrange the pear slices evenly in the prepared pie crust.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Add the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the pear slices in the crust, ensuring the pears are adequately coated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and cold diced butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sour cream and pear mixture.

Step 7

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the streusel topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Step 9

Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
