This is a keeper! Just added it to my childrens recipe boxes. Should have made two! I used Granny Smith apples!

My husband said this was the best pie he ever tasted. I used ginger instead of cinnamon. The cream cheese layer made it extra delicious. Next time I'll have to make 2.

So good the 1st time I am making it to take to church this weekend. I love the apples and pears together. It was so easy as far as pies go.

This pie is absolutely delicious! I'm not much of a baker and my husband isn't much of a dessert eater, but I made this one night as a treat and now he asks for it all the time! I don't even like pears and I LOVE this pie. I recommend using granny smith apples, I think they really make the pie more juicy.

Entered Pie in contest and won first prize. After trying a test pie found I needed more Pears and Apples than recipe called for. This pie is delicious.

Instead of making it as a pie, I turned it into a cake, using a vanilla cake batter. It was so moist and delish!!! YUM!

I saw this in the magazine and it looked so good I had to make it....and WOW! Very delicious! My mother-in-law calls it "impressive pie". The only thing is it comes out a little runny, even after letting it sit and cool...I tried adding more flour the second time I made it, and it wasn't much different, but it doesn't matter anyway because it's SO GOOD!
