Pear tart with crumble topping
This is our family's recipe for fresh pear pie topped with a brown sugar crumble. Serve it cool or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Using freshly-grated nutmeg will make a difference.

- 135g caster sugar

This was the absolute best recipe!! I followed the recipe exactly, did not change a thing, and it came out wonderful! The crumb crust was delicious. This is a pie that I will make again! A definite keeper! - 09 Oct 2013 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Used pears and apples since I didn't have enough pears. Added some lemon preserves to the fruit mixture for added flavor and added chopped pecans to the topping. Very flavorful. Only complaint is that it was too juicy. Next time I'll add corn starch to the fruit mixture. - 15 Nov 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
