My go to French pear pie is one of those wonderful desserts that feels fancy but honestly couldn't be simpler to make. Fresh pears are naturally sweet and packed with fiber, so you get that indulgent dessert satisfaction without going overboard. The beauty of this recipe is that it comes together in just ninety minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for weeknight entertaining or weekend baking. With a buttery crumb topping instead of a double crust, you skip the fussy pastry work while getting all that classic French elegance on your table.
