Simple pear pie
This pear pie is so simple that even a middle school child can be trusted to make it. And also to an inexperienced hostess who has never baked anything in her life! Believe me: if you follow all our simple instructions, the cake will really succeed. The most important thing is to find the right pears. They should be ripe and sweet, but not too juicy. In winter, the “evergreen” conference variety is perfect, and in season you can take fruits from your garden or buy southern ones on the market. Pear pie is especially good for family tea drinking: despite its simplicity, it is very tasty and homely.
