This sour cream pear pie is one of my go to desserts when I want something elegant but honestly quite simple to pull together. The beauty of using canned pears is that there's no peeling or prep work, so you can have this beauty in the oven in just 15 minutes. I love that sour cream adds such a lovely tangy richness to the filling while also providing probiotics that are great for your digestive health. The graham cracker crust pairs perfectly with the sweet pears and buttery crumb topping, and the whole thing bakes up to golden perfection in under an hour. Trust me, your guests will be impressed by how impressive this looks when it's really one of the easiest pies you can make.
