I created this tasty dessert one holiday when there was no room in the oven to bake one more thing. The filling cooks quickly, is tart and just sweet enough. And the crust comes together before you can say “Happy Holidays.” If you prefer, you can use a tart apple in place of the pears.

An actual dream. I died and went to heaven eating this. And the kitchen smelled divine.
I brought this to a dinner of traditional sugar-eating-dessert people–with nearly every bite everyone was saying “this is so good.” And yes, I had to pass around the url for the recipe!
I have made this a couple of times and it’s so good. I also use the crust part often for other pies/desserts because it’s a great alternative for people who are gluten intolerant. Thank you very much!
