Ms. Cindy's Pear Pie

Submitted by joshua.lewis on Wed, 12/21/2016 - 19:30

A year or two ago, Cindy Davis (the secretary I work with) said, "you have to try this pie."  Now normally, I don't eat anything with fruit or nuts in it because of my food allergies, but she went on and on about how good it was.  So with Benadryl standing by, I had a piece, and I have to tell you she was right.  Fortunately, I didn't need the Benadryl, but it was hard resisting the urge to have another slice.

This pie will be your new holiday favorite.  Combining flavorful fruit and a creamy custard, it's best served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream (or maybe some vanilla ice cream) on top.
